Abstract
A method for searching data includes displaying an interactive user interface (UI) having a first display panel configured to display at least one facet corresponding to a category of the data, and a second display panel configured to display at least one of the data and links to the data; expanding the facet, thereby displaying elements and/or subelements of the data organized within the facet; choosing an algorithm for selecting and relating the elements and the subelements of the data, indicated via a global indicator displayed on the first display panel; selecting the elements and/or subelements of the data to cause the data and/or links to the data to be displayed in the second display panel; and viewing the data and/or links to the data displayed in the second display panel in response to the selection of at least one of the elements and the subelements of the data.
