A user uses a graphical user interface to configure a search process. One or more set up pages may be output to the user to allow the search process to be configured. Once the search process is defined, a graphical user interface is generated that provides the search process. A searcher can then use the interface to perform searches. A search page is provided that includes fields that were defined. When a search term is received, a search is performed according to a search definition. The search results are then returned according to how the search results were configured. For example, the search results may be returned in a stepped fashion. Additionally, a quick create option is provided on the search result page. This allows a user to create an entry that is classified according to the search definition for the field that was searched.
