  Morgan Kaufmann is excited to announce the forthcoming publication of Designing the Search Experience by Tony Russell-Rose and Tyler Tate. The 300-page book is due in December 2012.

About the Book

Search is not just a box and ten blue links. Search is a journey: an exploration where what we encounter along the way changes what we seek. But in order to guide people along this journey, designers must understand both the art and science of search.In Designing the Search Experience, authors Tony Russell-Rose and Tyler Tate weave together the theories of information seeking with the practice of user interface design.
