A Matching Navigator System (MNS), said system including:
- a computerized system including a memory storing a user profile, said user profile including:
- a user-specific wellbeing criteria database, wherein said wellbeing criteria database includes a plurality of data elements representing predetermined wellbeing attributes, as well as data elements representing user-specific weightings for said predetermined wellbeing attributes,
- wherein said MNS monitors data from searches and site visits made using said MNS, compares said data from searches and site visits to said user-specific weighting for said wellbeing attributes, and adjusts said user-specific weighting for said wellbeing attributes based on said data from searches and site visits made using said MNS;
- a user-specific wellbeing orientation database, wherein said wellbeing orientation database includes a plurality of data elements representing predetermined wellbeing preference data and user-specific weightings for said predetermined wellbeing preference data,
- wherein said user-specific weightings for said predetermined wellbeing preference data are determined using an initial electronic survey presented to a user by said MNS for self-quantification by said user;
- and
- a user-specific understanding level data, wherein said MNS monitors data from searches and site visits made using said MNS, wherein said MNS determines a user-specific understanding level associated with said data from said searches and site visits and records said understanding level as said user-specific understanding level data;
- a solution database, stored in memory on a computerized system, wherein said solution database includes a solution data set corresponding to a predetermined potential user search query and a solution-specific electronic survey,
- wherein said solution data set includes a plurality of data elements representing predetermined solution attributes,
- wherein said data elements represent third-party quantified solution attributes that are quantified based on a plurality of third party user ratings collected from solution-specific electronic survey information received from a plurality of third parties in response to said solution-specific electronic survey,
- wherein said data elements representing third-party quantified solution attributes are determined by averaging said plurality of third party user ratings for said predetermined solution attributes;
- a computerized user interface, said computerized user interface receiving a search query from said user,
- wherein, when said search query from said user is determined by said MNS to correspond to said solution data set, said MNS retrieves said solution-specific electronic survey and transmits said solution-specific electronic survey to said computerized user interface for display to said user,
- wherein said computerized user interface receives user-specific weightings from said user for said solution attributes included in said solution-specific electronic survey;
- wherein said MNS:
- retrieves said plurality of data elements representing predetermined wellbeing attributes, as well as data elements representing user-specific weightings for said predetermined wellbeing attributes from said user-specific wellbeing criteria database;
- retrieves said plurality of data elements representing predetermined wellbeing preference data and said user-specific weightings for said predetermined wellbeing preference data from said user-specific wellbeing orientation database;
- and
- adjusts said user-specific weightings based on the data elements retrieved to determine user-specific adjusted weighting data for said solution attributes,
- wherein said MNS:
- generates a series of link selections based at least in part on matching said user-specific adjusted weighting data for said solution attributes with said data elements representing third-party quantified solution attributes, and
- said user-specific understanding level;
- and
- a Graphical Link Organizer (GLO) representing a user interface displaying a plurality of user-activatable links to organized search results, wherein said GLO includes:
- a first interface display area including links to search results that have been determined to be at the user-specific understanding level of said user based on said user-specific understanding level data;
- a second interface display area including links to search results that have been determined to be above the user-specific understanding level of said user based on said user-specific understanding level data;
- and
- a third interface display area including links to search results that have been determined to be below the user-specific understanding level of said user based on said user-specific understanding level data.
