Knowledge workers such as healthcare information professionals, legalresearchers, and librarians need to create and execute search strategies thatare comprehensive, transparent, and reproducible. The traditional solution isto use proprietary query building tools provided by literature databasevendors. In the majority of cases, these query builders are designed using aform-based paradigm that requires the user to enter keywords and ontology termson a line-by-line basis and then combine them using Boolean operators. However,recent years have witnessed significant changes in human-computer interactiontechnologies and users can now engage with online information systems using avariety of novel data visualisation techniques. In this paper, we evaluate anew approach to query building in which users express concepts as objects on avisual canvas and compare this with traditional form-based query building in alab-based user study. The results demonstrate the potential of visualinterfaces to mitigate some of the shortcomings associated with form-basedinterfaces and encourage more exploratory search behaviour. They alsodemonstrate the value of having a temporary 'scratch' space in queryformulation. In addition, the findings highlight an ongoing need fortransparency and reproducibility in professional search and raise furtherquestions around how these properties may best be supported.
