the degree of a priori uncertainty about a work task's inputs, process and outcome, shown to change which information types and sources people use.

In library and information science, task complexity in information seeking refers to the degree of a priori uncertainty about a work task's inputs, process and outcome, shown to change which information types and sources people use. This meaning comes from Byström (1995) in Information Processing & Management.[1]
