Search Complexity is a theoretical construct in visual search research that characterizes the cognitive and perceptual demands of locating a target among distractors, distinguishing it from simpler task descriptions by incorporating factors such as set size, feature similarity, and spatial arrangement that modulate the efficiency and dynamics of eye movement patterns during search.
