Looking for suggestions on the best way to present a search query to
the user.

I've got approximately 70 possible search items for be used in a
search. These 70 search items can be broadly organized within 6
different categories. Each search item offers from 3-8 predefined
values, which the user can select one value from. Selecting any one
value from any one item immediately causes the search to begin.


I would definitely go for a hierarchical display rather than
presenting the user with 70 choices. Give them a choice among the 6
main categories, then a new display with the sub-choices relevant to
that category.

The 6 main categories could be radio buttons or tabs that show & hide
groups holding the rest of the choices. They could be option buttons
or whatever type of menu button you preferred.

HTH,
Sarah
