Abstract

A system and method is provided that facilitates a progressive guided search for PLM objects. The system may comprise a processor configured to generate a GUI that enables a plurality of objects classified by library nodes to be searchable via a selection of one or more library nodes and a selection of one or more filter values for a plurality of filters corresponding to different object features. The processor may be responsive to a selection of a library node and/or filter value: to determine a subset of objects having object features corresponding to the selection; to cause the subset of objects to be displayed in the GUI; to determine a second plurality of filters based on the determined subset of objects; and to cause the second plurality of filters to be displayed in the GUI in an order based on the filter values associated with the second plurality of filters.
