As tech writers, one of our mantas is to know your audience. Where we often fail to follow this mantra in in the area of information finding. We have to ask ourselves, what type of information finding is my audience willing, able, and sufficiently informed to do. In the majority of cases, the answer to that question is search and click links. (This is well supported by multiple studies.)Hey Mark,
Can you pass on some of these studies? Where do you usually find such things?
Thanks,
Mark
