A data organization system that utilizes graphical interaction to effect Boolean queries. The subject invention provides for interactive graphical mechanisms that shield users from the semantics of the Boolean logic (e.g., "AND", "OR", "NOT"). These mechanisms facilitate the generation of Boolean queries via graphical selection and/or manipulation using iconic query objects. These objects can be interactively selected and/or manipulated by a user via any pointing device in order to create "AND", "OR" and "NOT" Boolean expressions.
