User pipeline configuration for rule-based query transformation, generation and result display

A computer storage device having computer-executable instructions for processing queries, comprising:

• receiving user input creating a pipeline configuration for executing a query from an input device;
• receiving a first query;
• obtaining a context and condition of the first query;
• determining rules based on the context and conditions of the first query by utilizing the pipeline configuration, wherein the rules are triggered in response to receiving the first query;
• applying the rules to the first query to determine additional queries to execute;
• executing the additional queries;
• receiving supplemental results from execution of each the additional queries;
• and
• mixing the received supplemental results with any core results to form mixed results.
