Whenever I see a debate about wayfinding I think of Donna Spencer's excellent article for Boxes and Arrows, "Four Modes of Information Seeking and How to Design for Them"
http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/four_modes_of_seeking_information_and_how_to_design_for_them It's a nice way to open up the dialogue about search vs browse into the psychology that predicates both and the design choices we have to meet those behaviors. %u201CThe most important issue is not whether you notice a mode of seeking information that fits into one of these categories, but that a range of modes exist.%u201D DSpencer (ps. I bear no known relation to Donna. I know her as Donna Maurer.) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
