"Hot on the scent of information" When it comes to looking for information on the Web, the term "hunting" may be more accurate than "surfing." According to research being conducted by the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, humans seek info on the Net with the same food-gathering techniques employed by animals -- by following the scent. But we're not talking "smell" here. The research scientists use the term "information scent" when describing cues - like images and hyperlinks -- that people use to decide which paths to follow in their Internet searches.
