Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has done any good search UI components? I'm about
to start one for a project but I'm raising questions early about the
handling of date/ numeric ranges and perhaps multiple ranges of fields
values.
Our normal search panels are generally just a bunch of fields that the user
would type values into and then hit search. The standard server search logic
would combine the results using that AND that AND that.
I'm now thinking what if the user wants a more refined search such as ( ( (
sex = "male" ) AND ( age > 25 ) ) OR ( ( sex = "female" ) AND ( age > 20 ) )
) which would return all males above 25 and all females above 20. Now using
a 'standard' search screen, this isn't possible.
Does anyone have any examples or ideas on how to present such custom query
options to the user and keeping it relatively easy and nice :)
Cheers,
Nick
