search time. College students tended to use a unique APP in search session, especially comparing
to the general users. As well, the search topic also affected the time duration of mobile search,
especially for health information, which cost more time. In addition, when college students used
different types of APPs, their search interest and information needs were usually different. It
was also found that the differences of search time could be influenced by the type of APPs when
searching for the same topics.
The findings of this study have practical implications for the development of the Internet
and APPs. For instance, different APPs could open their users’ interface, allowing users
to facilitate mobile search between different APPs. In addition, some large scale Internet
companies, like Baidu, should try to build its APP ecosystem. They could take advantages of
their resources to provide users with more efficient search services. As for specialty APPs,
they could recommend Internet information in the period of strong demand for searching to
improve the user experience, by building the user portrait according to user’s search time,
search habits.
Of course, there are some limitations of this study. The number of participants is small and
the participants are all college students. In the future, we will study the large scale data sets and
analyze the reasons and motivations of cross APPs in the mobile search. Furthermore, we will
build a better user mobile search behavior model.
