1. A system for generating a graphical user interface (GUI) for a research system that identifies documents relevant to a plurality of categories, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory, coupled to the one or more processors, having code stored therein and executable by the one or more processors to cause the system to:
receive a user objective and at least one initial category for a recurring search that identifies the documents relevant to a plurality of categories for presentation to a user, wherein the user objective comprises a purpose for which the user plans to use the identified documents;
provide for display in the GUI a plurality of selectable additional categories related to the received at least one initial category for the user objective, wherein the additional categories comprise a subset of pre-selected categories most related to the at least one initial category and further categories for selection by the user;
receive a selection of a set of additional categories for the recurring search through the GUI, wherein the recurring search identifies documents relevant to a set of search categories comprising both the initial category and the selected set of additional categories;
apply a set of filter rules, determined by simulation to predict quality and quantity of responsive documents, the user objective, the selected set of categories, and a quantity of documents stored in the research system that are relevant to the selected categories to determine an optimized, modifiable, pre-selected set of filters;
after the set of additional categories for the recurring search are selected, provide for display in the GUI the optimized modifiable set of filters for removing specific types of documents that are relevant to the set of search categories from the recurring search that are otherwise relevant to the additional categories for the recurring search, wherein a first set of selected additional categories results in a first optimized set of filters and a second set of selected additional categories results in a second, different optimized set of filters; and
generate the recurring search for the user based on the set of search categories and a modified set of filters.
