Multiple partial-image compositional searching

In searching data on a network, a data set is retrieved from the network based on a search query. Relationships between data of the retrieved data set are determined and a visualization representing related data of the retrieved data set based on the determined relationships is generated and presented. The data of the retrieved data set is accessed based on a selection of represented data within the visualization.
