Abstract
A method for enabling a user to search database profiles includes receiving user input categorizing an information need, and determining whether the user input corresponds to a first or a second type of category. In response to determining that the user input corresponds to the first category type, the method includes requesting user input defining a first query, and in response to receipt of the query, and executing the defined first query against a set of one or more databases based on the user input categorizing the information need. In response to determining that the user input corresponds to the second category type, the method includes requesting additional user input regarding the information need.
