Abstract

This research argues that providing a graphical visualization of the databases, queries, and search results will empower users with the complex task of information exploration. To provide and enhance graphical visualization, a new widget called dynamic slider (multiple attributes presentation slider) is introduced. The dynamic slider enables the user to present multiple value ranges rather than a single or anchored value to minimum or maximum points. The Preliminary results of the pilot studies so far are very encouraging, and users' feedback has been positive.
