    Abstract: A database search method and system utilize user community defined facets and facet values for refining searches. The system provides access to a database having a plurality of records in respective categories of information. Each record has one or more facets to the respective category of information. The system enables user input of a search term formed of a first parameter indicative of at least one category of information of the database. In response to the user input, the invention system displays (a) a set of search results, including records from the database of the at least one category of information, and (b) a listing of facets and/or facet values of the records in the search results. The listing of facets and/or facet values serve as suggested additional parameters for further refining the search terms or guiding user navigation of the database. In response to user selection of a facet value from the listing, the system refines the search term resulting in a refined search term formed of the first parameter plus the user selected facet and/or facet value. A search of the database is rerun using the refined search term. The facets and facet values are defined by a computer network community of users over time and through use of the network community portal. Another embodiment is an advertising engine that displays targeted advertisements to the user based on refined search. Another embodiment is a method that utilizes refined search to help the user with navigation of a site (e.g., website or other computer network site) as a component of a GUI.

    Abstract translation: 数据库搜索方法和系统利用用户社区定义的方面和方面的值来进行搜索。 系统提供对具有相应类别信息中的多个记录的数据库的访问。 每个记录对于相应的信息类别具有一个或多个方面。 该系统使得用户能够输入由指示数据库的至少一类信息的第一参数形成的搜索项。 响应于用户输入,本发明系统显示(a)一组搜索结果,包括来自数据库的至少一个类别的信息的记录,以及(b)记录的面和/或小平面值的列表 在搜索结果中。 方面和/或构面值的列表作为建议的附加参数,用于进一步细化搜索项或指导数据库的用户导航。 响应于用户从列表中选择小平面值,系统将精简搜索项,从而产生由第一参数加上用户选择的小平面和/或小平面值形成的精细搜索词。 使用精确的搜索项重新运行数据库的搜索。 方面和面值由用户随时间的计算机网络社区以及通过使用网络社区门户定义。 另一个实施例是一种广告引擎,其基于精细搜索向用户显示目标广告。 另一实施例是利用精简搜索来帮助用户导航作为GUI的组件的站点(例如,网站或其他计算机网络站点)的方法。
