| + | ===== Abstract ===== | ||
| + | We introduce a technique for creating novel, enhanced | ||
| + | thumbnails of Web pages. These thumbnails combine | ||
| + | the advantages of plain thumbnails and text summaries | ||
| + | to provide consistent performance on a variety of tasks. | ||
| + | We conducted a study in which participants used three | ||
| + | different types of summaries (enhanced thumbnails, | ||
| + | plain thumbnails, and text summaries) to search Web | ||
| + | pages to find several different types of information. Participants | ||
| + | took an average of 67, 86, and 95 seconds to | ||
| + | find the answer with enhanced thumbnails, plain thumbnails, | ||
| + | and text summaries, respectively. As expected, | ||
| + | there was a strong effect of question category. For some | ||
| + | questions, text summaries outperformed plain thumbnails, | ||
| + | while for other questions, plain thumbnails outperformed | ||
| + | text summaries. Enhanced thumbnails (which | ||
| + | combine the features of text summaries and plain | ||
| + | thumbnails) had more consistent performance than either | ||
| + | text summaries or plain thumbnails, having for all | ||
| + | categories the best performance or performance that | ||
| + | was statistically indistinguishable from the best. | ||
