OVERVIEW
The Mandala Browser is a rich prospect browsing concept that allows users to explore a data set using multiple criteria. Unlike boolean searching, the Mandala Browser permits a more nuanced search by allowing users to determine the strength of each criterion. Its design allows enormous flexibility in terms of the number of criteria used, the number of items represented, and the types of items represented.

SCREENSHOTS
When opening the Mandala Browser you will be presented with a default source data file (text.xml) and item tag (entry), you can simply click on "Begin Browsing". You'll then be able to define criteria for the first axis using the menu on the right (select a criterion from the pull-down menu and then choose one of the items or type content into the "contains" field). You can add additional axes using the button on right right, and perform other relevant actions.
