Title: Unfailing self-correcting modified boolean search engine
Inventor: GARRY CARL KAUFMANN
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2016-03-09
Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for a search engine utilizing a multiplicity of key words or phrases, and having the search engine program, in an initial search, search the first key word through an initial database. Each document is determined to either contain the key word being searched or not contain the key word. Only after it has been established that documents have been found containing the first key word, are all the documents not containing that key word discarded. The documents containing this first key word all become the database for the search of the next key word. This will lead to a series of ever shrinking databases since we are continuously discarding documents from these databases as long as we are finding documents that do contain the key word being searched. If at the conclusion of any database search, no documents are found containing the key word or phrase being searched, none of the documents in the database are discarded. Instead we retain all these documents, making them the database for the search of the next key word, and instead discard the key word that failed to find any documents. In this manner all key words will have been searched, and there always will be some found documents.
