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

+Search Patterns Library (via Flickr)
"A sandbox for collecting search examples, patterns, and anti-patterns."
Interesting, useful, and informative.
Searchable here.

From the News Release:

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."

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
