Abstract
This chapter presents a large set of experimental studies aimed at better understanding aspects of mobile search that differ from classical desktop search. The different role of users and their information needs is certainly a major aspect. Studies based on log analysis are presented first, while more classical users and diary studies are presented in a second step. The chapter finishes with some comparisons and remarks.
