Integrating Retrieval Functionality in Web Sites Based on Storyboard Design and Word Fields

摘要

Large information-intensive sites are developed everywhere and need in every case a separate retrieval support. The support comprises functionalities for key word and catalogue search as well as context based retrieval. The search functionality is often added after designing the complete site using common search engines or site map tools. The resulting information of that search facilities is mostly not that specific the user needs. We focus on an integrated development of search facilities within the web site design process. Additionally, we use the linguistic instrument 'word field' for defining abstract search keys during the design process.
