Isys desktop search does something along the lines of what you speak of. There's a screen shot of the UI on this page: < http://www.llrx.com/features/isys2.htm>. The art is a bit too small to read, but the UI displays the resulting command line as the user builds a query (small type in lower left of screen shot).
Basically, the user enters a term in the top of the screen, selects an operand and clicks/enters that operand, then on to the next term and operand, etc. The scheme is pretty well-designed. It's very easy to use for novices. Best regards, Marbux On 7/17/06, Michael Prichard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Not sure if anyone out is doing this, thought about doing this or is just plain curious. I want to figure out a way to build a search/rule gui's whereas the user can build searches much like building rules in some mail clients such as outlook or thunderbird. For example, the user could use drop downs and text fields to build something like: IF CONTENT MATCHES "aliens" THEN DO SOMETHING Importantly lucene would be used to match "content" for "aliens" and then something would happen. Going the other way, I need to be able to produce the statement in the GUI as represented. SO, should I build an XML representation of what I need and parse that? Is there something out there already doing something similar? Ideas?
