1. A context-based searching method comprising:
- retrieving content over a computer network;
segmenting the content into a plurality of cohesive segments;
identifying at least one cohesive segment of the plurality of cohesive segments with at least one context of a plurality of contexts resident on one more computer-readable storage media in a searching system; and
indexing, in the plurality of contexts, the at least one cohesive segment identified with the at least one context.

Abstract
A method for context-based searching includes retrieving content over a computer network, segmenting the content into a plurality of cohesive segments, and identifying at least one cohesive segment of the plurality of cohesive segments with at least one context of a plurality of contexts. In the method, the plurality of contexts are resident on one more computer-readable storage media in a searching system. The method further includes indexing, in the plurality of contexts, the plurality of cohesive segments identified with the plurality of contexts.

17. An article of manufacture for context-based searching, the article of manufacture comprising:
-
at least one computer readable medium; processor instructions contained on the at least one computer readable medium, the processor instructions configured to be readable from the at least one computer readable medium by at least one processor and thereby cause the at least one processor to operate as to perform the following steps; retrieving content over a computer network; segmenting the content into a plurality of cohesive segments; identifying at least one cohesive segment of the plurality of cohesive segments with at least one context of a plurality of contexts resident on one more computer-readable storage media in a searching system; and in the plurality of contexts, indexing the at least one cohesive segment identified with the at least one context. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A context-based searching method comprising:
-
receiving a search request and a selection of at least one context of a plurality of contexts from a user, the plurality of contexts being resident on at least one computer-readable medium in a searching system, the plurality of contexts each containing a plurality of cohesive segments of content identified with the context; searching only the at least one user-selected context of the plurality of contexts; responsive to the searching step, retrieving cohesive segments from the at least one user-selected context; and over the computer network, providing the retrieved cohesive segments by context to the user.
