1. A method for searching for a media asset comprising:

  • receiving, using control circuitry, a first search query from a user;

    identifying, from a content database, a first plurality of media assets related to the first search query;

    receiving, using the control circuitry, a second search query following the first search query;

    identifying, from the content database, a second plurality of media assets related to the second search query;

    for each of the first plurality of media assets related to the first search query;

    determining, using the control circuitry, whether the media asset from the first plurality of media assets matches one of the second plurality of media assets related to the second search query; and

    in response to determining that the media asset from the first plurality of media assets matches one of the second plurality of media assets related to the second search query, incrementing a number greater than one;

    in response to determining that the number greater than one is less than a threshold number, transmitting, using the control circuitry, an instruction requesting the user to repeat the second search query;

    receiving, using the control circuitry, a third search query related to the first search query; and

    determining, using the control circuitry, a media asset from the plurality of media assets related to the third search query.
