  • System and method for creating a search query using movable elements in a graphical user interface
    Patent number: 6768997
    Abstract: A system and method for creating a Boolean search query. The system includes a field determining object which determines searchable fields of a database. The fields may be arranged as selectable tiles in a view for selection by a user. A user may select a particular tile for including in a search query using a field selecting object. A field arranging object may be used to arrange the tiles selected as blocks in a graphical display of a search query. The relative position of the blocks determines any Boolean logical operation(s) to be performed. Boolean operators may also be displayed in the view for selection by the user.
