Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying conceptually related terms in a search result, comprising: receiving a search query; performing a search of one or more databases according to the search query to produce the search result; identifying terms corresponding to the search query; identifying word tokens in the search query terms; identifying potential phrases that can be made from the identified word tokens; finding each word and each phrase in the search result that is deemed to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both; specifying the locations of each word and each phrase found in the search result to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both; and transmitting the search result and location specifications of each word and each phrase found in the search result to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both, to another computer, wherein the other computer presents the search result to a user on a display device in such a manner as to visually distinguish each word and each phrase found in the search result to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both, from other words and phrases in the search result.
