Studies on the activity of information seeking and information literacy practices show that re-examining search behavior may improve search results. It is possible to strengthen this reflexivity by promoting the recovery and restoration of digital traces client-side, instead of just indexing them "server side". To understand the representations of information retrieval, we studied discourse of some students on their own information-seeking behavior and obtained models of their research. In student accounts, subjective description of the concepts in question overshadowed any objective description of the activity.
