Abstract

Implementations for searching and analyzing large, object-oriented data sets in an efficient manner involving innovative user interface features and/or search algorithm functionality are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a system may search for information and/or relationships based on specified search criteria and return results that may be displayed dynamically and further filtered or analyzed. Systems may involve object oriented database(s) and a software layer including a specialized user interface between the user and the database(s). The user interface may comprise various tools as well as predefined and configurable features that enable effective search of the data as well as display of search results that are configurable and readily managed to provide immediate and useful search results. The user interface may display the search results and various associated graphical representations and models, and/or provide tools enabling dynamic manipulation and display of search results or underlying object models, among other things.
