A context icon-oriented user interface for indicating search criteria allows a user to select a first icon associated with an individual for which information associated with a second icon, and potentially select further icons that are retrieved and presented to the user. A context determines the universe of first icons that are presented for selection by the user, and a stickiness level between the user and individuals in the universe of first icons may further reduce the universe of first icons based on various factors, including prior interaction with the user. Search results based on a combination of icons are then returned to the user, allowing the user to visually request searches without recalling keywords used to define the search query.
