Searching using Hitlists

• "Hitlists" avoid boolean logic.

  • SQL requires complex boolean logic, even if the SQL itself is hidden from the user
  • Boolean logic is non-intuitive, a bad match for the human brain

• Hitlists: intuitive, step-by-step searching

  • Simple, intuitive search paradigm
  • See the results as you go
  • Back up if you make a mistake, “explore” your question
