Czech
Results summary.
Almost all of the respondents (90%) were able to recognize UI patterns. Moreover,
they gave examples mostly of visual patterns (media players, web browsers, social
networks) but also of functions (software installation, mechanics of attraction, double-
click for open, etc.).
Discussion/conclusion.
The hypotheses were supported by the results. For a further study, more complex
examples could be given to the respondents to let them focus not only on the visual,
but also structural and functional planes of a pattern. In fact, only 24% of the Czech
responses mentioned action patterns, and only 15% of the Chinese responses.

The sequence of input in a faceted search follows the sequence of natural language.
Results summary.
The majority of the respondents chose gender as the first item in a search facet (65%).
The second item was purpose (30%), brand (20%), and gender (15%). The third
item was price (25%), color (20%), and material (15%). The fourth item was price
(45%), brand (20%), and size (15%). The fifth item was valuation/rating (33%), color
(22%), price, and purpose (both with 11%). Although going further the differences
between the responses are not more than 5%, we could construct the search facet in
the following sequence: gender, purpose, price (/color), price, valuation/rating. (See
Figure 8.49.)
Question.
In which direction do the users want to put the search boxes?
Result.
Most of the respondents chose the horizontal direction. They think it will be easy to
read and doesn't need too much space to show the detail selection.
