Search Patterns

---

In astronomy, averted vision is the art of seeing distant objects by looking to their periphery. It works by shifting responsibility from cones, which sense color and fine detail, to rods, which detect motion and help us to juggle, play chess, and see in the dark. This form of peripheral vision can be practiced. Observers often report a gain of three to four magnitudes. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes we must look away to see. This book will test our ability to juggle multiple visions of search and discovery. We will look to the center by describing a pattern language for search that explains user psychology and behavior, embraces emerging technologies and rich interaction models, and illustrates repeatable solutions to common problems. We will explore the edges by studying cool tools that help users ask, browse, learn, share, visualize, and understand. This juggling act is necessary if we are to pursue both incremental improvement and radical innovation. In today’s world of intense competition and rapid change, both are essential. Search applications demand an obsessive attention to detail. Simple, fast, and relevant don’t come easy. Success requires extraordinary focus in research, design, and engineering, yet you can’t test and tweak your way from Google to Twitter. Time and again, the future of search is invented beyond the borders of its category.
