Abstract
Systems and methods for configuring a search string. The systems and methods include searching a plurality of data products stored at one or more locations over a computer-based network. At least one data product is identified containing a topic of interest. A list of significant terms is ranked in the identified data product. The ranking is based on a weight value for each of the significant terms found in the data store. A search string is created including at least one significant term.
