Date: Thursday, October 18th 2012, 9.30 - 16.30
Course Outline: There is an increasing use of filters and faceted
navigation in web site and enterprise search applications. However often
the categorisation offered to users does not help them find the
information they are seeking. This course will provide an introduction
to the basic principles of search usability and then focus in detail on
how to develop a faceted navigation scheme which is highly intuitive and
so makes a significant difference to search effectiveness and search
satisfaction
Who should attend: Intranet and web managers who already have
implemented search, or who are planning a search implementation, and IT
developers with responsibility for search interface design.

User Experience at Endeca and editor of the Endeca UI Design Pattern
Library, an online resource dedicated to best practice in the design of
search and discovery experiences. Prior to this he was technical lead at
