Methods and systems for formulating and executing concept-structured queries of unorganized data
First Claim
1. A method for searching an unstructured data set comprising:
- receiving at least one user specified category whose definition is not constrained;
receiving at least one user specified token associated with the at least one category;
generating a boolean query associated with the combination of the at least one category and the at least one token;
executing the boolean query against an unstructured data set to identify at least one article identifier associated with an article; and
creating a result set comprising the at least one article identifier.

Abstract
Methods and systems for formulating and executing concept-structured queries of unorganized data are described. One described method for searching an unstructured data set includes receiving at least one user specified category whose definition is unconstrained, receiving at least one user specified token associated with the at least one category, generating a boolean query associated with the at least one token and the at least one category, executing the boolean query against an unstructured data set to identify at least one article identifier associated with an article, and creating a result set comprising the at least one article identifier.
