Web search models are a significant and important area of Web research. This paper outlines dissertation research to develop a Web search model that integrates processes involving multitasking, cognitive coordination and cognitive shifts. Based on previous studies, we present a preliminary conceptual model of Web search interaction incorporating multitasking, cognitive coordination and cognitive shifts. Research questions and research design are also discussed.
