1. A computer-implemented method of generating an input for a search engine for searching at least a database storing one or more entries of electrocardiography (ECG) information of one or more patients, each entry of the database comprises at least one ECG waveform of a patient and one or more of: a value for a parameter derivable from the at least one ECG waveform and a value for a parameter of the patient associated with the at least one ECG waveform, the method comprising:
initializing a visual representation of an input for the search engine, the initialized visual representation of the input comprising at least one interactive placeholder symbol;
displaying the visual representation of the input using an interactive visual display system; and
iteratively performing a replacement process until the visual representation of the input no longer comprises any placeholder symbols, the replacement process comprising steps of:
in response to a user interacting with a placeholder symbol, displaying one or more input sections, for interaction with by the user, using the visual display system; and
in response to a user interacting with a displayed input section, replacing the placeholder symbol with the displayed input section; and
generating the input for the search engine using the visual representation of the input,
wherein each of the one or more input sections comprises at least one of: an interactive placeholder symbol, a variable for an input for the search engine comprising an identifier of a parameter derivable from at least one ECG waveform of a patient or an identifier of a parameter of the patient associated with the at least one ECG waveform, and/or a value for the variable.
