Disclosed are apparatus and methods for facilitating search queries via a computer network. In certain embodiments, each search term that a user inputs for a search query causes a rich set of contextual information having one or more parameters or facets to be presented to the user to further enhance and refine the search query. The context facets can pertain to the search term itself or contextual information that is associated with search results objects that have been previously associated with such search term. Additionally, the user can be queried for a facet to be associated with the search term. The user can then input parameter values or choose selection option (e.g., numbers, strings, links, etc.) for each facet, and search results can then be provided based on such facet parameter values or selection option input.
