Our user testing has shown something similar to what Robert H. mentions... most users did not interact with sliders on the page on their own. A few didn't notice them. The ones who did understood their relationship to the data but did not interact with them. Our implementation was similar to Kayak's--a few sliders mixed with other controls. When mixed with other interactive bits, the sliders seemed to scan as a reporting element only--not an interactive one.
Not to hijack the thread, but (IMHO) Kayak's design is a big bucket of hey-look-what-web2.0-can-do with a teaspoon of users-should-be-able-to-use-this. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
