Abstract: A method for searching data on a computer system is provided. The method includes the displaying of a plurality of navigation nodes in a graphical navigation string on a display. The navigation nodes comprise a navigation hierarchy, having a first level and a second level. The method further includes the displaying of a finder field on the display adjacent to the plurality of navigation nodes in the graphical navigation string for searching the first level of the navigation hierarchy. It also includes the displaying of a navigation scope bar for searching the second level of the navigation hierarchy. Additionally, it includes a processor that determines a refined search criteria based on a movement of the navigation scope bar with respect to a navigation node within the plurality of navigation nodes in the graphical navigation string. The method further includes the sending of the refined search criteria to a search engine.
