What people are saying about Search Patterns "Search Patterns is a delight to read -- very thoughtful and thought provoking. It's the most comprehensive survey of designing effective search experiences I've seen." --Irene Au, Director of User Experience, Google "I love this book! Thanks to Peter and Jeffery, I now know that search (yes, boring old yucky who cares search) is one of the coolest ways around of looking at the world." --Dan Roam, author, The Back of the Napkin (Portfolio Hardcover) "Search Patterns is a playful guide to the practical concerns of search interface design. It contains a bonanza of screenshots and illustrations that capture the best of today's design practices and presents a fresh perspective on the broader role of search and discovery." --Marti Hearst, Professor, UC Berkeley and author, Search User Interfaces (Cambridge University Press) "It's not often I come across a book that asks profound questions about a fundamental human activity, and then proceeds to answer those questions with practical observations and suggestions. Search Patterns is an expedition into the heart of the web and human cognition, and for me it was a delightful journey that delivered scores of insights." --Dave Gray, Founder and Chairman, XPLANE "Search is swiftly transforming everything we know, yet people don't understand how mavens design search: by stacking breadcrumbs, scenting widgets, and keeping eyeballs on the engine. I urge you to put your eyeballs on this unique and important book." --Bruce Sterling, Writer, Futurist, and Co-Founder, The Electronic Frontier Foundation "As one who searches a lot (and often ends up frustrated), Search Patterns is a revelation." --Nigel Holmes, Designer, Theorist, and Principal, Explanation Graphics "Search Patterns is a fabulous must-have book! Inside, you'll learn the whys and wheres of practically every modern search design trick and technique." --Jared Spool, CEO and Founder, User Interface Engineering Search is among the most disruptive innovations of our time. It influences what we buy and where we go. It shapes how we learn and what we believe. In this provocative and inspiring book, you'll explore design patterns that apply across the categories of web, ecommerce, enterprise, desktop, mobile, social, and real-time search and discovery. Filled with colorful illustrations and examples, Search Patterns brings modern information retrieval to life, covering such diverse topics as relevance, faceted navigation, multi-touch, personalization, visualization, multi-sensory search, and augmented reality.

"Das Buch ist eine echte Hilfe. Für Einsteiger und Forgeschrittene. Auch fortgeschrittene Themen kommen in dem Buch nicht zu kurz, es gibt hier sehr schöne Beispiele für anspruchsvolle Anwendungen der Search Patterns. Man kann das Buch mit Einschränkungen auch blutigen Anfängern empfehlen, wer die Herausforderung sucht, wird sicher auch als Einsteiger viel Freude mit dem Buch haben, die unzähligen Beispiele stellen eine gute Hilfestellung dar. Ein Kompliment an die beiden Autoren, Peter Morville und Jeff Callender: Das Buch ist ein richtig toller Wurf. Fazit - Ein Buch das auf keinem Arbeitsplatz fehlen sollte! Das Ding ist eine hervorragende Einführung zum Theama – und sollte auf jeden Schreibtisch. Es ist ein Buch, das kaum Fragen offen lässt. Es ist praktisch alles drin, was derzeit in Sachen Search Patterns relevant ist. Eine unbedingte Kaufempfehlung von mir." - a href="http://php-nuke.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=9" target="_blank">php-nuke.de, Juni 2010

Google mag mit seinem prominenten Suchfeld Standards gesetzt haben, aber es gibt so viel mehr zu sehen. Peter Morville und Jeffery Callender ermuntern uns dazu, diese grosse, weite Welt der digitalen Suche zu entdecken: Definition und Bedeutung, Akteure und Umfeld, Benutzererfahrung und Psychologie, Designschablonen, Entdeckungsmaschinen sowie Zukunftsszenarien.
Entstanden ist ein unglaublich kompakter, unterhaltsamer Designführer, fokussiert auf die Suche in Webs, Webapplikationen und auf Mobiltelefonen, aber ohne Bezug auf die Webanalytik. Sämtliche Suchkonzepte und Designschablonen werden mit vielen faszinierenden Beispielen und durchdachten Visualisierungen illustriert. Letztere eignen sich auch hervorragend zum Nachschlagen, als Zusammenfassung oder zur Wiederauffrischung des Stoffes. Ich stimme mit den beiden Autoren voll und ganz überein, dass wir für die Suche noch viel mehr Begeisterung aufbringen sollten. "Sie ist beim weitem viel interessanter und bedeutender, als die meisten Leute annehmen."
Allen, welche das Thema "Suche" besser verstehen und das Design innovativer angehen wollen, kann ich das Buch uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Es ist erstaunlich, wie viele Inspirationen man findet, wenn man erst einmal über den Rand eines Suchfeldes hinausblickt...

A must-read for everyone collaborating on a search application
13. April 2010
Von Tyler Tate
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
"There's no shortage of problems with search today," says Peter Morville at the end of Search Patterns, his most recent book. Throughout the book, Morville chronicles the challenges of search and effectively communicates the best practices of building usable search experiences. The book more than adequately accomplishes it's stated goal: to foster greater cross-disciplinary collaboration by increasing search literacy.
In the preface Morville sets out to tear down the walls between disciplines, and at this he succeeds. From user psychology to technical considerations to the specific components of the user interface, Search Patterns has something for everyone involved in implementing search.
The first two chapters lay the groundwork for the rest of the book, discussing both why people search and the individual components that make up search. The book is in full swing by chapter three where Morville discusses user behavior, elements of interaction, and -- my personal favourite -- the principles of design.
In talking about design principles, Morville describes search both as a conversation and a jazz-like improvisation. He urges the architect to make search an easy, simple process to initiate, followed by a progressively more sophisticated toolkit that enables users to iteratively refine their query. He argues for a no-suprises approach to the user interface in which valuable options are highly visible and elements of interaction are easily predictable. Many of the principles are applicable to a much broader context than search alone, but that only stregthens their merit.
The real heart of the book is chapter four, which looks at 10 design patterns over 50 pages. It considers the obvious patterns -- autocomplete, faceted navigation, advanced search -- as well as more disparate groupings like federated search and personalization. The design patterns are complimented by a wealth of thought-provoking examples throughout the book, with an especially high concentration of desktop, mobile, and even kiosk visuals in chapter five.
Search Patterns is a must-read for everyone collaborating on a search application. It will give your team of designers, engineers, and business stakeholders a common vocabularly and greater awareness of the many sides of search.
Morville ends the book -- as I will end this review -- by urging the reader to get to work on making search better: "For every unsolved problem," he says, "there are countless instances in which we know the solution, but nobody has bothered to implement it. Discipline and attention to detail would go a long way toward improving the world of search."
You should get started by reading this book.

At least 50% waffle
9. August 2011
Von Joab

Format:Taschenbuch
This book definitely has some interesting analysis in it - especially chapter 4 (Design Patterns), which provides a really great breakdown of different ways in which a search interface is used, and how a basic search box can be enhanced. But for someone with a technical and practical bent, focused on design and implementation, I found much of the book close to unreadable - long waffling treatises that say the obvious, and keep saying it in several different ways. If you look inside the book and click 'Surprise Me!' a few times, you'll get the idea from one of the pages that comes up.

Very confusing book

On the upside, the book shows a lot of real world examples to illustrate the authors' points. The problem is that most of the time, those points are convoluted and hard to understand. I think this book would benefit from a major revision in style.
Here's an example. I open the book and see "Personalization" - I scan through the text, skip an introductory paragraph who seems a bit irrelevant (Apple history etc), and jump right onto the topic:
"So, while it's a worthy ambition, personalization is a hard problem. This inconvenient truth is often obscured by semantics and spin. For starters, personalization is often confused with customization, a simpler model where (bla bla bla)" The paragraph makes up half of the chapter. Can you tell me what personalization is, instead of telling me what it is not? There are a lot of unnecessary chatter that prevented me from collecting the real nuggets. Too bad, as I know this book has plenty.
