Knowledge challenges
• Knowing where to search, for what, and
which search results to trust is
challenging
Finding the right information
• The way people search is often
inefficient, and spread across numerous
platforms or apps
Traditional search methods
• Using multiple tools drives context
switching
Loss in productivity
