提出搜索多元性，用分类展示替代排名，避免结果偏见。
Search Plurality
- 用分类优先代替传统排序，展现查询的多种理解方式。
- 通过分类布局帮助用户把握信息全景，减少单一排序带来的偏差。
- 适合关注搜索公平性与信息多样性的研究者与产品设计者。
针对菲利普斯关于搜索中立性不切实际的观点——即当前结果排序受非认知因素影响——本文质疑主流搜索引擎的设计惯例。提出‘搜索多元性’概念，强调从多角度呈现查询可能的解决路径。设计一种以类别展示为主、而非具体项目排序的界面，使用户更清晰地理解搜索范围。无论查询是否具有多重解释或引发不同观点，这种分类展示均能凸显相关性、重要性及相对权重，类似传统分类方法。但与以往不同，该方法深化了对整体信息格局的理解，有效缓解了排名列表可能引入的偏见。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In light of Phillips' contention regarding the impracticality of Search Neutrality, asserting that non-epistemic factors presently dictate result prioritization, our objective in this study is to confront this constraint by questioning prevailing design practices in search engines. We posit that the concept of prioritization warrants scrutiny, along with the consistent hierarchical ordering that underlies this lack of neutrality. We introduce the term Search Plurality to encapsulate the idea of emphasizing the various means a query can be approached. This is demonstrated in a design that prioritizes the display of categories over specific search items, helping users grasp the breadth of their search. Whether a query allows for multiple interpretations or invites diverse opinions, the presentation of categories highlights the significance of organizing data based on relevance, importance, and relative significance, akin to traditional methods. However, unlike previous approaches, this method enriches our comprehension of the overall information landscape, countering the potential bias introduced by ranked lists.
