Abstract
his paper is an attempt to re-identify thesubtasks of the task of information gathering on the webwhich require further research. The study confirms thetypes of subtasks that need further consideration yet with different ordering of significance from what users indicatedin a previous study. The different ordering was concludedbased on the frequency of activities performed within eachsubtask. The study in Alhenshiri , et al. [1] recommendedthat web users performing information gathering tasks should be able to: re-find information from previoussessions for the same task more effectively, should alsohandle multiple sessions more effectively, and they shouldbe able to manage and organize information for the entire task not dispersed parts of it. The research discussed in thismanuscript revisits those recommendations in a user studycomparing a tool designed specifically for informationgathering tasks on the web and the plain browser while usedwith other assisting applications.
