otsinguparameetritele

Otsinguparameetritele is an Estonian term used in software interfaces and documentation to refer to the set of parameters that control how a search is performed. The word is formed from otsing (search) and parameetrid (parameters) with the -le ending indicating direction or target, so it is commonly understood as “to the search parameters” or “for the search parameters.” In practice, it appears as a label or description in user interfaces that offer advanced or customized search options.

In typical use, otsinguparameetritele denotes the part of a search tool where users can specify criteria that influence results. This includes keyword input, category or type selections, date ranges, price or size ranges, language or region filters, and, in some systems, boolean operators or exact-match options. The concept helps distinguish basic search from more detailed, parameter-driven queries. A section labeled with this idea may be presented as a panel, a set of expandable fields, or a dedicated page for refining results.

From a technical perspective, many applications translate these visible controls into query parameters sent to a server. Examples include parameters such as q (query text), category, date_from, date_to, price_min, price_max, sort, and per_page. The backend then translates these into a database query or search engine request to retrieve matching items.

Design and usability considerations for otsinguparameetritele emphasize clarity, accessibility, and progressive disclosure. Default settings should yield broad results, with explanation and validation provided for each parameter. Localization should ensure labels and help text are understandable in the target language.
