Queries are a major feature of DiscoverySpace and are the most complex and powerful new functionality of this fourth release. A Query is a question asked of the database, much like a web search on Google or Yahoo. However, Queries are more structured then web searches and allow the user to search particular properties of things. For example, "Get me all things with a certain name", or "Get me all things less then a certain age", etc. The Query allows the user to define such a subset of the data available in the database using a graphical query builder. It is imperative that new users learn how to use Queries in order to make full use of the functionality that DiscoverySpace has to offer. The skills used in constructing queries are also of vital importance when using the DiscoverySpace Explorer, which follows a similar methodology.
