From the Paper:
"There were several conditions that may have accounted for the results obtained. For instance, it is not known if the users were using high-speed connections, or were on dial up. There is no information about which browsers, or which versions users were utilizing for their searches. Some users may have been on older browsers, which may have accounted for the problems with the "Winston Churchill" search on the Foyles site. It is not known whether they were private, or networked computers. In addition, some users may be more experienced than others with the Internet, online bookseller websites, or with computers in general. These factors may have had an impact on the results obtained, but were not taken into account in the research design."Sample of Sources Used:
