1. A method of performing a search comprising:
receiving a first partial search string in a first search field; receiving a second partial search string in the first search field; wherein the first and second partial search strings are separated by a string separator character in the first search field; incrementally searching a set of documents in order to identify search results, wherein the incrementally searching comprises:
searching for a first one or more documents each including at least one string that corresponds to the first partial search string;searching for a second one or more documents each including at least one string that corresponds to the second partial search string; andupdating the search results as each successive character of the first partial search string and the second partial search string is received respectively in the first search field by identifying one or more documents included in both the first one or more documents and the second one or more documents, wherein the first partial search string and the second partial search string are non-adjacent in at least one of the identified documents.
