Currently the use of search engines is a constant day-to-day, through various multimedia devices, users are able to search for information easily. Search systems have evolved and are becoming more interactive, especially in the way show different types of content (text, images, videos, news, etc.), thus offering a more integrated user experience for the user. In recent years, there has been an evolution in terms of search interfaces. The presentation of the search results is no longer limited to traditional links to web pages. The systems attempt to automatically identify the underlying entities to research conducted (bp people, places, organizations) and present this in a structured way and visually rich information. The search result page turn is knowledge cards, knowledge panels, and in some cases knowledge carousels, which present information about the various entities and relationships between them, thereby providing the possibility of user interaction and more easily reach the desired result. The aim of this thesis is to research, development and evaluation of the search results pages of search engines oriented to entities, in order to identify which methods valued by users on access and exploration of results. Thus research methodologies are applied, in order to improve how users arrive at the results when they search structured information. Following this goal at an early stage was carried out an assessment of the usability of the research system oriented to entities, thus measuring their efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction through tests with users. Looking collect qualitative and quantitative data to support the organic results designed and implemented in the system. After implementing the system has a new assessment based on previously used methodologies with a group of different users. As a result of this process was possible to see which aspects valued in the search results for a search oriented entities system. The results and the proposed organic results are presented in this document, following the guidelines used in the process of Design Research Interfaces.
