Term searching based on context

Abstract

A method of performing a context based search associated with a digital document may include determining a contextual keyword associated with the digital document. The contextual keyword may be determined based on one or more of content included in the digital document and information associated with the digital document. Additionally, the contextual keyword may provide context to use of a term in the digital document such that the contextual keyword may indicate a meaning of the term as the term is used in the digital document. The method may further include initiating a context based search of a general information database using the term and the contextual keyword such that a result of the context based search may indicate the meaning of the term as the term is used in the digital document.
