Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method that facilitates searching, obtaining and displaying product choice recommendations using inputs, including continuum-based inputs, and relevance-indicating visual representations, the method comprising the steps of: (a) presenting a continuum-based selector to a user and at least one product choice visual representation, the continuum-based selector being based on a continuum between a plurality of attribute criteria, the plurality of attribute criteria including first attribute criteria and second attribute criteria, and (b) receiving at least one input indicating at least one user interest value, the at least one input representing a relative preference between the plurality of attribute criteria, and the receiving at least one input being performed by the user interfacing with the continuum-based selector; (c) comparing the at least one user interest value with a stored result value for at least one product choice, the comparing at least partially based on similarity of at least one user interest value and a stored result value for at least one product choice; (d) generating a unique weighing value for at least one product choice compared, wherein the generation of the unique weighing value is at least partially based on the ratio relationship; and (e) presenting at least one product choice visual representation to the user wherein the product choice visual representation is modified based on the unique weighing value of the product choice depicted in the product choice visual representation.
