IxDA - query http://www.ixda.org/taxonomy/term/2994/0 en Designing a "query builder" for advanced search http://www.ixda.org/node/17732 <p>Anybody out there ever built a interface that helps users build an advanced<br /> search query? I am currently working on a site that has over 5 million<br /> articles, and search is the primary way users find this information. A lot<br /> of these users are librarians and they know how to do complex Boolean<br /> searches on various meta data fields. Currently, the search engine is<br /> optimized for this type of user, which is completely ignoring the user who<br /> does not know how to construct these complex queries.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"></div><p><a href="http://www.ixda.org/node/17732" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.ixda.org/node/17732#comments query search http://www.ixda.org/crss/node/17732 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:15:49 +0000 L.A.
