The LSI:Query form actually consists of two similar, yet separate forms. The initial LSI:Query form (Figure 4) allows the user to enter a query, adjust the number of factors, and select the number and type of objects to be returned. The user is also allowed to change to a different document collection, taking him or her back to the LSI:Book form, and to create a new query, which allows the user to start a fresh query in the same document collection.
The subsequent LSI:Query form (split across Figures 5, 6, & 7), which is returned after the user enters his or her initial query, includes the initial LSI:Query form, but also displays the results of the previous search. To refine the query, the user can add terms and documents returned as the result of the prior search, add new keywords, and adjust the parameters of the search.
