Cost structure of sensemaking

• Rich tradeoffs, bail at any point-
• 2-3s Capture thought to search
• 5-10s Trigger search see results list
• 20s Open doc from results or drag into notes
• 30s-2min Inspect Details Refine
• Scroll through results, Apply filters, Revise
  query
• Grab snapshot from a document
• Correct reco errors but tablets reco is
  amazing!
• Sufficient depth for common info needs not mired
  by last 10 of complex queries that need full
  featured search tools

21
In situ search

• Leverage preexisting ink to initiate search
• No context switch to a search app stay in the
  flow
• No tedious transcription of text to a search
  box that divorces search from context that
  originates it
• Reduced cognitive barrier - slippery slope
  between ink ? query

22
In situ search

• Queries as first class objects, commingled with
  ink notes
• Quickly capture intent to search
• Search now, or later, as time permits
• Visible and salient search history as part of
  notes persisted with notes.
• Queries can be moved, copied, pasted modified

23
In situ search

• Tightly interleaves inking, searching,
  gathering no ink/search barrier
• Compact search UI - bring up in-place, without
  leaving context of work
• Make it feel effortless to repeatedly transition
  from inking, searching, back to inking
• jot notes in the margin while searching
• drag drop from search results to page
• side-by-side searches
• defer ongoing search minimal cost to close,
  just pick up later where you left off.

24
In situ search

• Tightly couple queries with app content
• Queries naturally persist in originating context
• Easy revisitation of previous queries
• Results of queries become new content
• Drag results into notes
• Create ad-hoc arrangements of useful documents
• Capture part of document for notes
