The aim of this study is to identify how searchers reflect the search goal requirements associated with search questions in process and outcome. One query which has two different search goal requirements was given to subjects, that is, one is to increase high precision and the other is to increase high recall. Using ERIC ONTAP file through DIALOG online search system, 54 subjects conducted online searches twice for the high precision search and for the high recall search. Subjects employed significantly different search strategies, invested significantly different efforts, and achieved significantly different results between the high precision and the high recall search.
