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>
