Help!!

Even Wikipedia fails me on this one. I'm doing a psychology experiment (a variation of a previous study), and chose to look at "Visual Search". Only problem is, I can't seem to find more than the one study proving the theory (I need three in total for literature reviewing) that support a theory of visual search.

At the moment, I'm looking at Treisman and Gelade's Feature Integration Theory but lacking studies on it (lots of websites on the internet cite various studies that support the idea by name and date, but there is no information on the net actually regarding the methods/results used. Apart from Treisman et al, I need two other studies that support the theory, namely the idea of parallel/serial (or feature/conjunction) search. It doesn't have to show the theory exactly, but it has to support the basic idea in some way so I can use it to discuss my experiment.

(This is really my back up in case I can't do an experiment based on the theory above: As I researched, it seems that the theory has been modified over the years to Guided Search Theory (Jeremy Wolfe). And.... that's where wikipedia fails. I cannot find a single page on the net describing what guided search theory is that doesn't require me to pay/subscribe. Does anyone know what this is, or can send me information on it? Like the above, I need three studies to back that up too but since I have no idea what guided search theory is, I don't even know how to begin to google for vaguely-relevant studies.)

Any help or advice is totally, utterly, appreciated.

Thank you soooo much!!
