Abstract:
An approach is described for representing search results via a three-dimensional matrix. An associated method may include receiving a search query, querying at least one database based upon the search query, and receiving results to the search query from the at least one database. The method further may include representing the results via a three-dimensional matrix graphically depicting a plurality of categories corresponding to the results. Each of the plurality of categories may be associated with the results via a respective tag in the at least one database. Upon detecting activity from an input device, the method further may include filtering the plurality of categories of the three-dimensional matrix, and prioritizing the results based upon the filtering. Representing the results via the three-dimensional matrix may include presenting the results in a list correlated to the three-dimensional matrix, and prioritizing the results based upon the filtering may include prioritizing the list.
