I interpreted this the other way. by "where we look", I assumed 
that you did not mean "where we point our eyes" but, "what pages 
do we retrieve"

If you wanted to look at what psychologists call "visual search",
which is to say the control processes that result in eye
movements, you might want to start elsewhere.

Correct, in the sense that Pirolli and Card look at far more than
the simple phenomena of visual search. Nevertheless, Card and
Pirolli have actually done eye-movement studies in support of
their theories on information foraging.
