I often search for classes and methods, and I think most people only do this. What are "more than 10" kind of searches?

GTSpotter>>spotter*For: (and I use 9-ish of them atm, although classes & methods are still the primary use case) But the discoverability is not great. On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 11:26 AM, Martin Bähr < mbaehr@email.archlab.tuwien.ac.at> wrote:

Hi, some questions are unclear to me:

What does this question means: "Did you use Spotter before?"

before what? Before I took this survey?

try answering "no" and see what happens ;-)

...

For the dive-in feature, I would answer something like: I find the feature useful, but it often gives irrelevant results.

so the feature itself is not irrelevant, but the results are...

Hi some constructive comments on the survey: - I agreed with Nicolai: "before what?" I have chosen "Yes" supposing that is before filling out the survey. - I also think that the scale for evaluating relevancy on Spotter features is not the adequate, because some features are not shades of irrelevant or useful, but used accordingly to necessity and discoverability. In my case I don't use them because my use case don't let me discover that uses (which is kind of an irony: improving the own discoverability of a tool used for "external" discoverability). I have chosen "I don't know this feature" but sometimes I refer to I know them sometimes but is not clear how to pass from my use case to them. Cheers, Offray On 29/03/16 04:02, Nicolai Hess wrote:

Hello everybody,

We are conducting a small survey about Spotter. It would help us if you would complete the survey at: http://spotter.limequery.com/index.php/216683/lang-en

We will use the data from this survey both in a research tasks and to help us to further improve Spotter. The survey should take you less than 5 minutes to complete.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, some questions are unclear to me:

The answers to "I find the following features from Spotter: " "Sometimes useful" "Sometimes irrelevant" aren't exclusions.

For the dive-in feature, I would answer something like: I find the feature useful, but it often gives irrelevant results.

"How many different kinds of searches (e.g., senders, implementors, classes …) are you performing using Spotter?"

I often search for classes and methods, and I think most people only do this. What are "more than 10" kind of searches?
