Abstract
A diagnostic device receives a first set of search criteria related to a problem with a vehicle, and the diagnostic device stores the first set of search criteria. In response to receiving a second set of search criteria, the diagnostic device can compare it with the first set of search criteria in order to identify a pattern between the two sets of search criteria. The diagnostic device can then alter the second set of search criteria based on the pattern between the two sets of search criteria.
