Slow Search
Briefly

The rise of the 'slow movements' challenges the rapid pace of modern life, advocating for 'slow search' as a means to enhance the quality of search experiences by embracing additional time.
Research indicates that users perceive quicker search results as higher quality, leading to a paradox where speed has become more valued than the depth of information provided.
Experimental data from major search engines show that even minor delays in search result delivery can significantly decrease user engagement, suggesting a paramount focus on speed.
The concept of slow search encourages a reevaluation of the goal of search engines, promoting a balance between speed and quality to better satisfy user needs.
