Abstract

A filtering phrase is received as the basis for obtaining information of interest to a user. Linguistic analysis is performed on the filtering phrase to generate a plurality of categories. A categorization rule is applied to the categories to obtain search terms. The search terms are submitted to a search engine, which returns results especially pertinent to the filtering phrase.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a filtering phrase;

generating a plurality of categories based upon a linguistic analysis of the filtering phrase;

applying a categorization rule to obtain at least one search term based upon the categories; and

submitting the search terms to a search engine.
