Welcome
Welcome to Infopedia
Infopedia is a structured information site built for a university project on semantic-search evaluation. It is used to study how people search for answers when prompts are concept-based and users must write their own queries.
The site includes topic pages, detailed article-style entries, semantic search tasks, and placeholder search interfaces (Orion and Atlas). Content pages are linked with breadcrumbs and cross-topic references to support both browsing and search-based retrieval.

About Tom and the project
Infopedia was built by Tom as part of a third-year project. The site is designed to provide a consistent test environment, including controlled task prompts and linked pages that make it easier to compare search behaviour across participants.
Some content is synthetic so answer locations and wording can be managed during evaluation, but the interface is intended to feel like a normal information site. Participants can complete tasks in any order, search using their own wording, and then record their experience in a separate feedback form.
