Abstract

Various implementations for solution searching are provided. One implementation provides for solution searching during a session with a user. The user creates a search request for one or more solutions. A data store provides one or more refinement criteria that are displayed to the user. The refinement criteria are associated with the search request. The user then selects one or more of the refinement criteria. In response, the data store provides one or more solutions that are displayed to the user, the solutions being associated with the search request and the selected refinement criteria. The user selects one or more of the solutions. The search request, the selected refinement criteria, and the selected solutions for the session are then stored in the data store.
