Summary:A method and system provides a search interface that permits a user to interrogate a structured database, and includes retrieving database entries from one or more databases, flattening a plurality of database entries, indexing the plurality of flattened database entries to form a search engine index, and prompting the user to enter an input. The system continuously monitors the user input and each time an input is entered by the user, the system computes a set of non-null partial queries in response to the input entered by the user, associates a structured item to each non-null partial query, and allows the user to select one of the structured items. If the user selects one of the structured items, the system replaces the user input by the non-null partial query associated to the selected structured item. When the user validates the input, the system executes the input as a query. Finally, the system provides documents to the user corresponding to the executed query.
