First Claim
1. A method for analyzing a query and generating related results comprising:
- determining a keyword associated with the query;
generating at least one term related to at least one keyword;
supplying the keywords and terms to a data mining routine; and
generating a least one related result to the query.

Abstract
A query information retrieval content enhancing system and method using the system is disclosed that takes a user query and generates not only results corresponding to the exact query, but also generates results that relate to the exact query. The related results are generated by identifying query keywords and connectors and determining related keywords and/or connectors. The original keywords and connectors and the relates keywords and connectors are then submitted to data mining routines that generate the related results. The normal results and related results are then made available to the user through an interface so that the user can review, analyze and manipulate the results.
