In an inverted index for contextual search in a collection of documents is contextual search applied for retrieving one or more tokens of a document as well as the context wherein the one or more tokens occurs, the context being any identifiable structure of a document. Any specific single context forms a scope of the document. The inverted index comprises at least a subindex in the form of a text index of text tokens and the text index comprises field-formatted records including a path field for the path of the scope enclosing the token. The records constitute a posting list of the text index with information of the paths for every occurrence of the tokens. —A path filter for use with the inverted index for contextual search comprises a path pattern in the form of expressions defining which paths that match or do not match a search query.
