Abstract: The search engine interface is an input to a database search engine that presents to a user a graphical representation of the search criteria and the search results. The search criteria are displayed as tabs on a Web page presented by the user interface. Each tab has some indicia to associate the tab with its corresponding search criterion. Each search criterion presents one of a plurality of search terms operable by a predetermined Boolean relationship for input to the search engine. Each tab can be removed by the user to thereby remove the corresponding search term from the search engine. By adding or removing tabs, the user can navigate a search with a minimum number of keystrokes or other commands.
