1. A system comprising:

  • an input device;

    an output device;

    one or more processing modules; and

    one or more non-transitory memory storage modules storing computer instructions configured to run on the one or more processing modules and perform acts of;

    receiving a search query; and

    responsive to receiving the search query;

    identifying a restricted group of questions, questions of the restricted group of questions being relevant to the search query;

    identifying answers to the questions of the restricted croup of questions;

    transforming the restricted group of questions into a first group of questions and a second group of questions, the questions of the restricted group of questions comprising the questions of the first group of questions and the questions of the second group of questions;

    grouping together the questions of the first group of questions according to the questions of the first group of questions each satisfying a threshold value of a feature commonality metric relative to each other;

    grouping together the questions of the second group of questions according to the questions of the second group of questions each satisfying the threshold value of the feature commonality metric relative to each other;

    classifying the first group of questions with a first classification and the second group of questions with a second classification;

    communicating to a user the first classification and the second classification;

    communicating to the user the answers to the questions of the restricted group of questions; and

    omitting an answer to a question of the restricted group of questions from a communication to the user when no answer is identified to the question of the restricted croup of questions,wherein;

    the input device and the output device are configured to permit an operator of the system to manage the one or more processing modules and the one or more non-transitory memory storage modules;

    the feature commonality metric is calculated using a divergence score and a convergence score;

    the convergence score comprises at least one of;

    a quantity of one or more words in common for at least two questions;

    a difference in a number of words separating two or more words in common for at least two questions;

    a difference in a quantity of words for at least two questions;

    an order of words in common for at least two questions;

    a grammatical type of one or more words in common for at least two questions;

    a word choice of one or more words in common for at least two questions;

    a number of characters of one or more words in common for at least two questions;

    ora language of one or more words in common for at least two questions; and

    the divergence score comprises at least one of;

    a quantity of one or more words in common for at least two questions;

    a difference in a number of words separating two or more words in common for at least two questions;

    a difference in a quantity of words for at least two questions;

    an order of words in common for at least two questions;

    a grammatical type of one or more words in common for at least two questions;

    a word choice of one or more words in common for at least two questions;

    a number of characters of one or more words in common for at least two questions;

    ora language of one or more words in common for at least two questions.
