1. A method for discovering relevant information in a dynamic information system (DIS), the method comprising:
- employing at least one computing device for;
tracking information entered by a user of the DIS;
determining for the user, based on the information entered by the user, an initial appropriate context within which to search for relevant information;
searching for relevant information by;
comparing, within the initial appropriate context, the information entered by the user to information in a network; and
determining whether the network contains information relevant to the information entered by the user; and
in the case that it is determined that the network contains information relevant to the information entered by the user, displaying to the user an object containing the relevant information.
