The present invention leverages query-related information based on a query
and/or a search intention to provide a systematic means to facilitate a
user in locating desired information despite lacking exact search
parameters. This allows users to find information without first
formulating an optimum search query. The query graph provides a
navigable, graphical notion of the query-related information via nodes
representative of the query-related information and edges representative
of the associations between the information. In one instance of the
present invention, the query graph is derived from an information source
such as a query log, a query list, and/or a search engine and the like.
Additional instances of the present invention utilize visual and/or
audible indicators employed with the query graph to facilitate in
relaying the query-related information to the user, including, but not
limited to, overlays, icons, colors, and dimensional variances and the
like.
