Abstract

This study aims to investigate information seeking behavior of Popshoes users. Transaction logs of Popshoes, a major Korean shopping search engine, were analyzed. These transaction logs were collected over 3 months period, from January 1 to March 31, 2015. The results of this study show that Popshoes users behave in a simple and passive way. In the total sessions, more users chose to browse a directory than typing and submitting a query. However, queries played a more crucial role in important decision makings such as search results clicks and product purchases than directory browsing. The results of this study can be implemented to the effective development of shopping search engines.

본 연구에서는 국내 쇼핑 검색 사이트인 팝슈즈 이용자들의 정보 검색 행태를 조사, 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 팝슈즈에서 2015년 1월부터 3월까지 3개월 동안 생성된 검색 로그를 수집, 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 팝슈즈 이용자들의 검색 행태는 매우 단순하고 수동적인 것으로 나타났다. 이용자들이 정보 접근 시, 질의를 직접 입력하여 검색하는 경우보다 사이트에 구축되어 있는 디렉토리를 브라우징하는 경우가 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 제품 정보 클릭이나 제품 주문과 같은 주요 의사 결정에 있어서는 브라우징보다 질의의 역할이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 쇼핑 검색 서비스의 개선에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
