'This will be seen as a transformational book, one that synthesized a new and coherent discipline of human information interaction out of literature and experience scattered across many fields. Professor Hearst has read everything. There is no book like it that puts together so completely the new technical foundations for a user-centered design of information systems. Search User Interfaces should be required reading for anyone who would study or design such systems.' Stuart Card, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), California
