Abstract: The Web has enhanced the integration of textual and multimedia information. We examine changes in Web users' multimedia searching on Excite (r), a major Web search service, over two years. Two data sets of 1,025,910 queries from 1997 and 1999 were analyzed. Key similarities and changes are identified. We identified changes in the multimedia terminology used and the length of multimedia queries. Our results are compared to findings from general Web searching studies. Implications for the design of multimedia systems and interfaces are discussed.
