It's widely recognized that all Web search engines today are almost identical in presentation layout and behavior. In fact, the same presentation approach has been applied to depicting search engine results pages (SERPs) since the first Web search engine launched in 1993. In this Visualization Viewpoints article, I propose to add a visualization feature to Web search engines and suggest that the new addition can improve search engines' performance and capabilities, which in turn lead to better Web search technology.
人们普遍认为，如今所有的网络搜索引擎在展示布局和行为方面几乎一模一样。事实上，自1993年首个网络搜索引擎推出以来，同样的展示方式就一直被用于描绘搜索引擎结果页面（SERP）。在这篇可视化观点文章中，我提议给网络搜索引擎添加一项可视化功能，并认为这一新增功能能够提升搜索引擎的性能和能力，进而带来更出色的网络搜索技术。
