Enabling multidimensional search on non-PC devices

摘要

Multidimensional search capabilities are enabled on a non-PC (personal computer) device being utilized by a user. An original query submitted by the user via the non-PC device is received. A structured data repository is accessed to extract structured data that is available for the original query, where the extracted structured data represents attributes of the original query. The extracted structured data is provided to the user in the form of a hierarchical menu which allows the user to interactively modify the original query, such modification resulting in a revised query.

1. A computer-implemented process for enabling multidimensional search capabilities, comprising:
using one or more computing devices that are in communication with each other via a computer network to perform the following process actions: receiving an original user query; accessing a structured data repository to extract structured data that is available for the original user query, the extracted structured data representing attributes of the original user query; and providing the extracted structured data in the form of a hierarchical menu for use in generating a revised user query.
