Patent Images
1. A method implemented in a computer-readable storage medium and processed by a processor to perform the method, comprising:
- detecting, via the processor, an action against a search query;
gathering, via the processor, contextual information for the search query in response to the action; and
retaining, via the processor, the contextual information as metadata that is carried as comments with the search query when the action is performed on the search query.

Abstract
Techniques for using metadata as comments to assist with search problem determination and analysis are provided. Before an action is taken on a search, contextual information is gathered as metadata about the action and actor requesting the action. The metadata is embedded in the search as comments and the comments are subsequently logged when the action is performed on the search. The comments combine with other comments previously recorded to permit subsequent analysis on searches.
