The usefulness of advanced search is often a contentious issue. Given the advent of simple and alternative search tools, users often eschew advanced search. Therefore advanced search is often an underused feature, which should be ‘gotten rid of’ [9]. For example, WDL and UoE’s Aquabrowser do not provide advanced search forms, preferring to provide alternative ways for users to search. The lack of advanced search may be challenged by the usability heuristics that state accelerators should be provided to speed up interaction for the expert user (Nielsen’s Heuristic 7). Providing choice for users ensures that every type of user is catered for. Certainly, omitting an advanced search has the potential to do more harm than not including it.

However, there is another argument that places less value on the inclusion of the advanced search than on how easy it is to use. For example allowing inexperienced users to undertake advance search without imposing a steep learning curve could encourage usage and improve search experience. All advanced search forms examined in the inspection had multiple blank fields, each associated with a drop-down menu, uncommon labels and very little instruction on how to complete the form. Other usability issues encountered during the inspection are more generic. For example, the use of small and indistinguishable links as action buttons in the middle of the search form, cf. Fitts Law (User Interface selection dependency based on size and distance) [10].

One approach to address usability of advanced search has been more fundamental. Instead of search fields in self-contained forms, the approach is based on the design of alternative tools that embed advanced search to provide more intuitive user experience. Most of the digital libraries inspected, for example, provide Faceted Searching which essentially facilitates reconstituted and iterative Boolean search operations.

They did an elaborate usability study. Isn't it over-complicated?

82 % of sites that contained a faceted search positioned it in the top left of the screen.

The faceted search tended not to be presented on the homepage, but often 2/3 levels down within the information architecture

65% of faceted searches stated the number of results in each category. This was often presented in brackets next to the facet. Not all of the sites that we audited made it clear to users which facets were currently applied and how to remove tho

It is important not to overwhelm users with too many options. Depending on the product range, 4 facets tend to be enough to narrow down the search

In addition, it is important to consider the ordering of the facets and position those that are most popular higher up the list. For each facet, users also need to know how many results will be returned.

As for the breadth and depth of the faceted search, according to Lemieux (2009) “Faceted search works better with a broader taxonomy that is relatively shallow because that lets users combine more perspectives”.

Allow users to be flexible and provide the ability to alter the selected facets at any stage. It is important to allow users to be able to remove selected facets as easily as they can add them.

By using breadcrumbs alongside the facets, this will not only show where the user is currently, but will also allow them to click to previous levels of the site, making them feel in control.

Faceted search tools have become mainstream and more sophisticated.

Among librarians, archivists and historians, the term "an archives" refers specifically to the repository in which papers are housed, not generally to the papers themselves. "An archive" means a single set of papers: "An archive of committee papers." There is some drift between uses and I imagine the singular "archives" will eventually fall out of use altogether, especially as copy editors and people like that are always trying to correct it.
