1. A method for conducting non-keyword based searching by utilizing an electronic concept base that results in improved electronic search results, the method comprising:
- plotting, by a processing device, a set of concepts derived from a selected set of fingerprints on a terminology system, wherein;
the plotting generates a map, andthe set of concepts are obtained from the electronic concept base used for the non-keyword based searching;
selecting, by the processing device, a single concept from the set of concepts;
determining, by the processing device, a relative importance of the selected single concept by applying a correction algorithm selected from at least one of;
log 10(1+T/S),
(1/(S+1))exp,
log 10((T+1)/(S+1)), and
log(S+off),wherein T is a total number of documents, S is a frequency of the at least one concept in all documents, and S+off>
1, 0.0001 or off is a user defined exponent;
displaying, by the processing device, the map with the set of concepts and the selected single concept;
indicating, by the processing device, the relative importance of the selected single concept with respect to the set of concepts on the map; and
conducting the non-keyword based searching by weighting the selected single concept based on the determined relative importance of the selected single concept such that search results that are generated as a result of the non-keyword based searching reflect the weighted selected single concept.

7. A system for conducting non-keyword based searching by utilizing an electronic concept base that results in improved electronic search results, the system comprising:
-
a processing device; and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium, the non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to; plot a set of concepts derived from a selected set of fingerprints on a terminology system, wherein; the plotting generates a map, and the set of concepts are obtained from the electronic concept base used for the non-keyword based searching; select a single concept from the set of concepts; determine a relative importance of the selected single concept by applying a correction algorithm selected from at least one of;
log 10(1+T/S),
(1/(S+1))exp,
log 10((T+1)/(S+1)), and
log(S+off),wherein T is a total number of documents, S is a frequency of the at least one concept in all documents, and S+off>
1, 0.0001 or off is a user defined exponent;display the map with the set of concepts and the selected single concept; indicate the relative importance of the selected single concept with respect to the set of concepts on the map; and conduct the non-keyword based searching by weighting the selected single concept based on the determined relative importance of the selected single concept such that search results that are generated as a result of the non-keyword based searching reflect the weighted selected single concept. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium with computer executable instructions embodied thereon conducting non-keyword based searching by utilizing an electronic concept base that results in improved electronic search results, the computer executable instructions directing a processing device to:
-
plot a set of concepts derived from a selected set of fingerprints on a terminology system, wherein; the plotting generates a map, and the set of concepts are obtained from the electronic concept base used for the non-keyword based searching; select a single concept from the set of concepts; determine a relative importance of the selected single concept by applying a correction algorithm selected from at least one of;
log 10(1+T/S),
(1/(S+1))exp,
log 10((T+1)/(S+1)), and
log(S+off),wherein T is a total number of documents, S is a frequency of the at least one concept in all documents, and S+off>
1, 0.0001 or off is a user defined exponent;display the map with the set of concepts and the selected single concept; indicate the relative importance of the selected single concept with respect to the set of concepts on the map; and conduct the non-keyword based searching by weighting the selected single concept based on the determined relative importance of the selected single concept such that search results that are generated as a result of the non-keyword based searching reflect the weighted selected single concept. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
