Search Patterns: A New Book by Peter Morville and Jeffery Callendar
We would not be at all surprised if Search Patterns (like other books by Morville) become required reading in library and info science programs.
Info Architecture Guru, Peter Morville and Design Director, Jeffery Callender have just released a new book titled, Search Patterns. This book takes a look at design patterns that, "apply across the categories of web, e-commerce, enterprise, desktop, mobile, social, and real time search and discovery."
The book is available at Amazon.com where you can also search and browse the text.
The SearchPatterns.org web site is also full of material and is free to browse, read, and use. Here's some of what you'll find:
+ The Full Text of Chapter One
+ A Partial Set of Illustrations from the Book. They could be very helpful if needing help illustrating an idea for a presentation
+ A Recommended Reading List
+ Book Reviews
+ Feedback and Discussion Secion
Users are invited to speak Boolean and then wait patiently for irrelevant results. These disparities exist because expertise is situated in multiple disciplines and design patterns are scattered across contexts. Our book aims to bridge these gaps and help design teams to make search better through incremental improvement and radical innovation."
