1. A computing system for generating related content during an instant message communication between collaborative tools, the computing system comprising:

  • one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices and program instructions which are stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising;

    program instructions to execute an instant message session in a requestor message program of a first collaborative tool of one or more collaborative tools between one or more users of the one or more collaborative tools;

    program instructions to execute the instant message session in a responder message program of a second collaborative tool of one or more collaborative tools;

    program instructions to examine information from instant messages in a message window during the instant message session;

    program instructions to automatically identify at least one keyword data of the examined information, wherein the examined information is dynamically analyzed prior to submission of the instant messages in the message window of one or more collaborative tools, and wherein the examined information is dynamically analyzed as it is entered in the message window, and wherein the at least one keyword data is automatically identified with distinctive text formats, and displayed in the message window based on the dynamically analyzed examined information;

    program instructions to highlight the at least one keyword data based on a desire to designated the highlight at least one keyword data as a keyword data of the examined information, wherein the highlighted at least one keyword data is manually identified as the keyword data of the examined information;

    program instructions to submit the automatically identified at least one keyword data and the highlighted at least one keyword data as a collaborative instant message session history in a first query repository of the instant message session;

    program instructions to query the first repository for a first related content data that matches the at least one keyword data;

    program instructions to generate one or more contextual search results based on the match;

    program instructions to transmit the generated one or more contextual search results for display on the one or more collaboration tools;

    program instructions to annotate the generated one or more contextual search results of the display one or more collaboration tools, wherein the annotated one or more contextual search results are displayed with distinctive text formats in the message window of the one or more collaborative tools;

    program instructions to store the generated one or more contextual search result in a storage of the instant message session;

    program instructions to query a second repository for a second related content data that matches the at least one keyword data, wherein the query for the second related content data is automatically performed during automatic identification of the at least one keyword data and the highlighted at least one keyword data of the instant messages in the message window;

    program instructions to update the generated one or more contextual search results with the queried second related content data that matches the at least one keyword data, wherein the updated generated one or more contextual search results of the queried second related content data is annotated and displayed in a related content window of the one or more collaborative tools; and

    program instructions to display an alert in the related content window of the one or more collaboration tools, wherein the alert indicates the availability of the update to the generated one or more contextual search results.
