Abstract
Typically search engine results (SERs) are presented in a ranked list of decreasing estimated relevance to user queries. While familiar to users, ranked lists do not show inherent connections between SERs, e.g. whether SERs are hyper-linked or authored by the same source. Such potentially useful connections between SERs can be displayed as graphs. We present a preliminary comparative study of ranked lists vs graph visualisations of SERs. Experiments with TREC web search data and a small user study of 10 participants show that ranked lists result in more precise and also faster search sessions than graph visualisations.
