Abstract	This paper presents results from the analysis of user interactions in the GEI (German Education Index) specialised search engine. The main interest of this study is getting insights into the GEI users typical search behaviour to identify optimisation potential for the further development of the GEI search engine. Based on a sample of query logfiles, the study has revealed that the users apply advanced search functionalities and query reformulation tactics adequately, though not frequently, and that more support in their application could possibly increase the effectiveness of the searches in the GEI.
