Abstract
Traditional information retrieval systems present search results as a ranked list of documents, ordered by their estimated relevance to the query. Visualization of search results is emerging as a powerful tool for presenting more information to the user in a way that is both intuitive and easy to interpret. This paper describes the various visualization techniques, and presents a novel classification of these methods. Next it discusses several of the important issues concerning these techniques: how they are evaluated, how they scale to large document sets, can they be combined, and will we see them in practice on the Web anytime soon. 1
