7. A computer system for performing rapid, multi-dimensional word searches comprising: storage means for storing one or more objects, the objects comprising a plurality of words; input means for specifying a search query and a search space, the search query comprising a multi-dimensional combination of words and attributes, the search space identifying one or more objects; parser means for creating a data structure based on the search query, the data structure comprising: a lead character table for partially recognizing the words contained in the search query; a word table for storing at least the words contained in the search query; an operator table for storing in post-fix order at least the words contained in the search query and the attributes specifying one or more boolean operators contained in the search query; and a granularity table for storing at least the attributes specifying one or more granularity restrictions contained in the search query, the granularity restrictions requiring the words to appear within one or more granularity boundaries; evaluating means for creating a list of target objects based on the data structure and the search space, the list of target objects consisting of objects from the search space which satisfy the search query; and output means for displaying the list of target objects.

The computer system of claim 7 wherein the search query limits the word search of the search space to one or more specified fields within the objects in the search space.
