Claim One:
1. A computer search engine system for transforming user inputs into identification of relevant matches of non-text graphical data independently or as an adjunct to a text based search engine comprising: a. a self-contained graphical pairing database running on a computer server storing inputted graphical images of existing physical objects and sub-component images thereof; b. a graphical reference library resident in the graphical pairing database; the database comprising a graphical alphabet of physical objects by text name, paired with defined plurality of sub-component parts of each object, the sub-component parts each comprising a plurality of sub-graphic images each representing a plurality of variable choices corresponding to a plurality of alterative visual differences possible for sub-component parts of each physical object; c. a presentation screen put before a user, in response to user selection of a searchable physical object from the library of searchable physical objects, displaying a plurality of subcomponent graphic images of the sub-component for user sub-selection of sub-components; d. a computer processor for transforming user selection of each sub-component graphic for each sub-component of the object searched into a search string of object plus selected sub-components and applying the search string to the pairing data base; f. a visual human readable output of graphical representations of physical objects which match the selected graphics based criteria; whereby a user input is transformed into a graphical representation of physical objects within the data base which match selected criteria.
