Method and system for processing a search request

A system for forming a search query, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one input unit and at least one output unit associated with the processor;
• and
• at least one memory configured to store computer-readable instructions, wherein the computer-readable instructions cause the processor to perform the steps of:
• receiving a search request from a first computing device for searching at least one output document in a database based on a first input document, the database being stored in memory associated with a processor of one of the first computing device and a second computing device;
• extracting a first metadata from the first input document, a second metadata from at least one second input document, and a third metadata from synonyms of the first and second metadata, wherein the at least one second input document is linked to the first input document;
• forming a first set of metadata by combining the first, second and third metadata;
• ranking a first set of categories, wherein the first set of categories are associated with the first and at least one second input documents, and wherein a category associated with a highest number of input documents is ranked highest;
• forming a second set of categories by excluding a predefined number of categories from the first set of categories;
• forming a second set of metadata by excluding at least one definition metadata from the first set of metadata, wherein the at least one definition metadata comprises one or more keywords contained within one or more definitions of the second set of categories, and one or more synonyms of the one or more keywords;
• forming a relationship set including at least one definition metadata against each category of the second set of categories;
• and
• storing the first set of metadata, the second set of categories, the at least one definition metadata, the relationship set, and the second set of metadata in a repository.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer-readable instructions that when executed by a processor of a system for forming at least one search query, instruct the processor to perform the steps of:

• a) receiving a search request from a first computing device for searching at least one output document in a database based on a first input document, the database being stored in memory associated with a processor of one of the first computing device and a second computing device;
• b) extracting a first metadata from the first input document, a second metadata from at least one second input document, and a third metadata from synonyms of the first and second metadata, wherein the at least one second input document is linked to the first input document;
• c) forming a first set of metadata by combining the first, second and third metadata;
• d) ranking a first set of categories, wherein the first set of categories are associated with the first and at least one second input documents, and wherein a category associated with a highest number of input documents is ranked highest;
• e) forming a second set of categories by excluding a predefined number of categories from the first set of categories;
• f) forming a second set of metadata by excluding at least one definition metadata from the first set of metadata, wherein the at least one definition metadata comprises one or more keywords contained within one or more definitions of the second set of categories, and one or more synonyms of the one or more keywords;
• g) forming a relationship set including at least one definition metadata against each category of the second set of categories;
• and
• h) storing the first set of metadata, the second set of categories, the at least one definition metadata, the relationship set, and the second set of metadata in a repository.
