ABSTRACT:
A system and method is provided wherein a user chooses from an allowed preselected domain of query element values, presenting a query comprising a plurality of selected query element values, which form the basis for indexing query results. A database lookup is done according to the user's selections and index values, as well as relevancy values of other members of the allowed preselected domain of query element values. In some embodiments the query results are assigned to arbitrary tags or numbers to prevent unauthorized competing search providers from appropriating the query results.
