Visualization of Query Results in Relation to a Map

A method for visualizing query results in relation to a map, comprising:

• specifying a first geographic location of interest around which query results are to be clustered;
• querying a data source using a search query;
• constraining entities that satisfy the search query to form a subset of entities having a predefined number of entities that are geographically proximate to the first specified location of interest;
• displaying an indicia for each of the entities in the subset of entities in a content area of a display;
• displaying a map of a geographic area on the display, where the geographic area includes the first specified location of interest;
• designating a first boundary on the map whereby each of the entities in the first subset of entities reside in the boundary and other entities that satisfy the search query reside outside the boundary;
• and
• dynamically adapting the first boundary on the map in accordance with an input from the user specifying a second geographic location of interest.
