Abstract
We discuss the ways in which search services need to adapt to device and setting to cater for, not only the characteristics of the devices, but also the different types of search typically carried out in different settings. We then discuss the specific challenges of mobile settings before going on to look at opportunities offered by new forms of large interactive surfaces such as digital tabletops.
