FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a text-based field setting UI according to the related art. When a user searches for a material for 2015, '2105', which is a period setting field, is clicked in 'field setting' 10), the three results corresponding to 2015 are outputted in the "search result" field.

Such a conventional search field setting method is configured in such a manner that a necessary item is set in advance before a user views a search result, so that a user immediately checks a search result according to a setting, and it is difficult to add necessary items.

In addition, even if the interlocked search result is provided according to the field setting, the text-based conventional search field setting method is not intuitively perceived by the user.

Also, there is a problem in that the search result according to the related art is output only individual search results, it is difficult to find the correlation between the various field information provided, and the relationship information between the type of trial and the period setting can not be confirmed.

In addition, it is difficult to confirm the relationship information and it is difficult to elaborately set different kinds of fields, and it is not easy to find the results of other trials.

In addition, the information on the field setting is provided as a simple field selection and a text-based field selection, so that it is difficult for the user to set it intuitively when various combinations of field selection are required.

In addition, the text-based field setting method is difficult to provide information on relation and relevance to each field, and field selection is provided as a simple function.
