Resumo: Online searching is an activity that is present in the lives of many people, especially when it comes to routine searches to solve everyday problems. At the same time, the volume of data available on the web is growing daily, and filtering the results can determine the effectiveness of this search. Search engines also return other elements besides the results, composing a complex interface. This complexity can make it difficult to use and divert the user's attention to these elements. Considering this, the present study sought to examine which characteristics in search results stand out from the use of advanced operators in searching for web documents. Assuming that the use of these operators can suggest greater agility in the search and greater precision to the results, the research identified characteristics presented along with the results of several searches. Through an experimental research approach, the results from 380 user screen captures were collected and analyzed. The users replicated a search on Google in five different scenarios: free search; normalized search; search with the Boolean operator AND and the addition of quotation marks; search with the filetype: operator; and search with the site: operator. The results highlighted features such as search ads, suggestions of searches already performed by other users, and approximate result counts. It is understood that the use of advanced search operators can not only affect the presented results but also their presentation format.

Simultaneamente, o volume de dados disponíveis na web cresce diariamente. Filtrar os resultados pode determinar a eficácia desta busca. Os mecanismos de busca também retornam outros elementos além dos resultados, compondo uma interface complexa. Essa complexidade pode dificultar o uso e desviar a atenção do usuário para esses elementos. Diante disso, o presente trabalho buscou examinar quais características nos resultados de pesquisa se destacam a partir do uso de operadores avançados na busca por documentos na web. Partindo do pressuposto de que a utilização desses operadores pode sugerir maior agilidade na busca e maior precisão aos resultados, a pesquisa identificou características apresentadas junto aos resultados de várias buscas. Por meio de uma pesquisa experimental, foram coletados e analisados os resultados presentes em 380 capturas de tela de usuários que reproduziram uma busca no Google em cinco cenários diferentes: busca livre; busca normalizada; busca com o operador booleano AND e acréscimo de aspas; busca com o operador filetype: e busca com o operador site:. Os resultados ressaltaram características como anúncios de pesquisa, sugestões de pesquisas já realizadas por outros usuários e quantidade aproximada de resultados. Entende-se que o uso de operadores avançados de pesquisa pode interferir não apenas nos resultados apresentados, mas também na sua forma de apresentação.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2023-11-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/4753110.1590/1983-3652.2023.47531Texto Livre; Vol. 16 (2023): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e47531Texto Livre; Vol. 16 (2023): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e47531Texto Livre; Vol. 16 (2023): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e47531Texto Livre; v. 16 (2023): Texto Livre: Linguagem e Tecnologia; e475311983-3652reponame:Texto livreinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/article/view/47531/39229Copyright (c) 2023 Antonio Carlos Picalho, Luciane Maria Fadel, Alexandre Leopoldo Gonçalveshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPicalho, Antonio CarlosFadel, Luciane MariaGonçalves, Alexandre Leopoldo2024-01-08T13:17:01Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/47531Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivrePUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/textolivre/oairevistatextolivre@letras.ufmg.br1983-36521983-3652opendoar:2024-01-08T13:17:01Texto livre - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
