Abstract

A system and method providing search results based on linguistic analysis is provided. The method comprises receiving content from one or more documents associated with search parameters entered by a user. Language associated with the content based on linguistic parameters is then analyzed. A score is assigned to the content based on the analysis of the language. The content is then ordered by relevance to the user based on the assigned score.

Claims

1. A method for providing search results based on linguistic analysis comprising:

receiving content from one or more documents associated with search parameters entered by a user;

analyzing language associated with the content based on linguistic parameters;

assigning a score to the content based on the analysis of the language; and

ordering the content by relevance to the user based on the assigned score.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the content comprises one or more segments comprising the one or more documents.

3. The method as recited in claim 2, further comprising averaging the scores of the one or more segments in order to provide a score for each of the one or more documents.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising presenting the search results to the user based on the order of the content.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising forwarding the content to a commercial search engine that presents the search results to the user based on the order of the content.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising associating the content with the assigned score for storage.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the linguistic parameters are represented by anchors.

8. A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for providing search results based on linguistic analysis, comprising instructions for:

receiving content from one or more documents associated with search parameters entered by a user;

analyzing language associated with the content based on linguistic parameters;

assigning a score to the content based on the analysis of the language; and

ordering the content by relevance to the user based on the assigned score.

9. The computer program as recited in claim 8, wherein the content comprises one or more segments comprising the one or more documents.

10. The computer program as recited in claim 9, further comprising averaging the scores of the one or more segments in order to provide a score for each of the one or more documents.

11. The method as recited in claim 8, further comprising presenting the search results to the user based on the order of the content.

12. The computer program as recited in claim 8, further comprising forwarding the content to a commercial search engine that presents the search results to the user based on the order of the content.

13. The computer program as recited in claim 8, further comprising associating the content with the assigned score for storage.

14. The computer program as recited in claim 8, wherein the linguistic parameters are represented by anchors.

15. An system for providing search results based on linguistic analysis comprising:

an index for receiving content from one or more documents associated with search parameters entered by a user;

a linguistic analysis component for analyzing language associated with the content based on linguistic parameters, for assigning a score to the content based on the analysis of the language, and for ordering the content by relevance to the user based on the assigned score; and

a web server for presenting results to the user based on the search parameters.

16. The system as recited in claim 15, wherein the content comprises one or more segments comprising the one or more documents.

17. The system as recited in claim 15, further comprising averaging the scores of the one or more segments in order to provide a score for each of the one or more documents.

18. The system as recited in claim 15, further comprising forwarding the content to a commercial search engine that presents the search results to the user based on the order of the content.

19. The system as recited in claim 15, further comprising associating the content with the assigned score for storage.

20. The system as recited in claim 15, wherein the linguistic parameters are represented by anchors.
