Abstract: A query technique and interactive tool for analyzing unstructured data and structured data together through an easy-to-use interface. The query technique uses field indexes within a search engine to enable fast response times, scalability across large data sets, and availability to large audiences. This invention enables embodiments to combine the best features from search experiences with the best features from business intelligence experiences. A preferred embodiment of this technique enables all features to be fully composable so that one request includes structured data analysis features including multi-column grouping and aggregations as well as unstructured data analysis features including search term stemming and dynamic summaries.
