11.2. NAVIGATION AFTER SEARCH

Frequently people have a word or phrase in mind and just want to search as quickly as possible without carefully formulating a query. When faced with the results, however, they suddenly discover they need ways to refine the search. Navigation techniques, such as topics links, clustering, grouping, and making search suggestions, can help. You've probably already seen many of these without realizing. Navigating search results can aid greatly in narrowing and focusing a search.

11.2.1. TOPIC LINKS

Search results often contain details about each page that was found, as well as the topic of each page. If the topics for each page are linked, clicking one leads to other pages for that category, enabling people to navigate to more stories on a given subject that matches their interests.
