Abstract
A system that generates display objects in a graphical user interface that enable the user of an application which accesses a data repository through result sets to dynamically construct a new query to show all database records having the same contents as a specified set of fields in a currently active database record. Display objects are further generated that enable the user to specify how the contents of the selected fields are to be matched (e.g. exact matching, inclusion, etc.) and/or logical relationships between specified field contents (e.g. Boolean operators such as AND, OR, NOT, etc.). In one embodiment, once a query is defined in this way, it is stored, for example in the user's profile, so that the user can access it across uses of the application.
