1. A search method, comprising: A) causing a first information set to be generated, comprising a first plurality of items, wherein each item of the first plurality of items is associated with at least one characteristic; B) representing at least some of the first information set in a first presentation; C) receiving a first feedback based upon the first presentation from a user; D) applying an evolutionary algorithm to a plurality of characteristics associated with the first plurality of items to generate a first search query, wherein the evolutionary algorithm is based on the first feedback; E) causing the first search query to be executed to generate a second information set comprising a second plurality of items, wherein each item of the second plurality of items is associated with at least one characteristic; F) representing at least some of the second information set in a second presentation; G) in response to a user input, repeating step B and representing at least some of the first information set in the first presentation; H) receiving a second feedback based upon the second presentation from a user; I) applying an evolutionary algorithm to a plurality of characteristics associated with the second plurality of items to generate a second search query, wherein the evolutionary algorithm is based on the second feedback; J) causing the second search query to be executed to generate a third information set comprising a third plurality of items, wherein each item of the third plurality of items is associated with at least one characteristic; and K) representing at least some of the third information set in a third presentation; wherein at least one characteristic associated with each item is chosen from a group comprising: at least one descriptor made available by a search engine or web directory service; at least one tag; at least one keyword; at least one classification-oriented identifier; at least one categorization-oriented identifier; and at least one semantic web-oriented identifier; and wherein at least one characteristic associated with each item is not a word or phrase selected from text displayed as part of the item.

The method of claim 1 , wherein the evolutionary algorithm comprises a crossover operator configured to combine genes of two genetic strings to produce at least one offspring, and a mutation operator configured to delete at least one gene of a genetic string and/or add at least one random gene to a genetic string, and wherein applying the evolutionary algorithm to generate a first search query comprises: applying the crossover operator to genetic strings respectively associated with at least two items of the first plurality of items to generate at least one offspring; and applying the mutation operator to at least one genetic string associated with at least one of the at least two items of the first plurality of items, or to at least one offspring.
