A machine-controlled method may include receiving from a user an importance condition and a preference condition, target condition, or both. A data store may store textual information, numerical information, belief information, estimation data, or any combination thereof. A machine may execute a query against the stored information. A processor may apply an importance by asserting the importance condition against the stored information. The processor may apply a preference probability by asserting the preference condition against the stored information. Alternatively or in addition thereto, the processor may apply the target condition against the stored information. The machine may perform a matching operation that incorporates at least one result of the querying and provide at least one matching result based on the matching operation. Responsive to multiple results of the querying, the machine may provide an indication of a ranking corresponding to at least one of the results.
