First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a user query from a remote device, the user query containing one or more search terms;
assigning a first set of weights to each search term contained in the user query;
upon receiving search results corresponding to the user query from a backend server, transmitting the search results to the remote device;
receiving a user selected object, the user selected object being chosen from among the search results; and
assigning a second set of weights to each search term of the user query based upon the selected object.

Abstract
The present invention generally relates to the search of enterprise systems, and more particularly, to the use of one or more weighting factor(s) to identify the relevance of individual search terms of a search query. The systems and methods receive a user query from a remote device, the user query containing one or more search terms, assign a first set of weights to each search term contained in the user query, upon receiving search results corresponding to the user query from a backend server, transmit the search results to the remote device, receive a user selected object, the user selected object being chosen from among the search results, and assign a second set of weights to each search term of the user query based upon the selected object.
