  • Publication number: 20220197915
    Abstract: A combined search and graph interface is provided for facilitating investigative searches. In an embodiment, a set search results for a first search is concurrently displayed with a graph that represents the first search. User input is received that selects a first search result from the set of search results for the first search. In response, a node is added to the graph that represents the first search result and one or more child nodes that each correspond to a named entity extracted from a data source that corresponds to the first search result are added below the node in the graph. In another embodiment, a second search is initiated in response to receiving user input that selects a node from the graph. The graph and a second set of search results generated by the second search are concurrently displayed in the combined search and graph interface.
