Abstract
It is a common belief--and empirical data provides supporting evidence--that some people are more proficient in performing online searches than others (Borgman, 1989; Fenichel, 1980-81; Saracevic and Kantor, 1988; Trivison et al., 1986). Precision, the proportion of the retrieved documents that are relevant to the query, and recall, the proportion of the relevant documents that were retrieved by a particular query, are the measures generally used to evaluate differences in search performance. In addition, measures of search term overlap and search efficiency are sometimes reported.
