Described is a technology for composing queries by user interaction with objects and facets. A facet-based user interface allows users to select facets for use as filtering criteria, and a logic-based user interface allows users to logically combine object data. Query logic that processes the filtering criteria and/or logically combines the object data into a query. The facet-based user interface and logic-based user interface may be accessed via a unified user interface. The unified user interface may also provide a text editor for composing a text-based query.
