Abstract

A search system and method therefor is disclosed. The search system includes an input mechanism for a user to input a plurality of search terms, software for automatically creating a plurality of search strategies based on the search terms inputted via the input mechanism, and a search strategy display for displaying the plurality of search strategies in a graphic form, such as a Venn diagram, which is preferably comprised of a plurality of search strategy areas. The search strategy display comprises a search area activation mechanism that allows the user to selectively activate at least one of the search strategy areas. The system also preferably includes other search strategy displays for displaying the activated search strategy in a non-graphic form such as in the Boolean or Natural language. The search system also preferably comprises a search engine selection mechanism by which a user can select one or more search engines through which to run the search. A method of searching in accordance with such a search system is also disclosed.
