Challenge
The project was an attempt to design an ideal interactive search interface that can meet users’ search preferences.

My Roles/ Contributions
• The initial interface was designed based on literature review and wikipedia pages
• Interactive prototype was developed in Axure
• 8 users were recruited to perform the user testing of the initial search interface
• We observed the user testing process and documented the user experience
• Statistical methods were implemented to analyse the data collected in the user tests

Solution
This study enabled users to compare and evaluate various key features of interactive search interface design such as Search Box, Categories, Control Features, Interactive and immersive Navigation and Layouts.
