Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for digital search, the method comprising: generating, using a task-related query processor, a search query in an enhanced search query language that includes a task-related search term, the task-related search term being related to a current task being performed by a user; predicting a predicted task based on the task-related search term and stored event records that correspond to an activity history of the user and that identify content of documents previously visited by the user, wherein the predicted task is a particular task, from among a plurality of tasks, that is predicted as the current task being performed by the user according to a probability determination and using the stored event records; and translating the enhanced search query language into a traditional search engine language by supplementing the search query with additional search terms to generate a supplemented search query, wherein the additional search terms of the supplemented search query are different from the task-related search term and are generated according to task-related features that are representative of the predicted task, wherein the supplemented search query corresponds to the task-related search term and the additional search terms; retrieving, from a search engine, search results matching the traditional search engine language corresponding to the supplemented search query; and presenting the search results.
