Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for inputting dimensional articulation for search queries and providing multidimensional relevance for artifacts within an information retrieval system. Various examples relate to systems and methods for information retrieval (IR), specifically those used for search engines. These kinds of systems and methods can variously be described as being related to facilitating database searching; facilitating the creation of queries and terms related to database searching; facilitating the understanding of queries, terms and results related to database searching; facilitating the presentation or display of queries, terms and results related to database searching; and facilitating human-machine interaction with queries, terms and results related to database searching.
Claims32
A method, comprising:
- retrieving, over a network, an artifact;
- collecting, over the network, evidence associated with the artifact;
- and
- selecting an artifact based on relevance to a set of categories based on information contained in the artifact.
A method, comprising:
- collecting, via a user interface, search terms within a search query, wherein the search terms are dimensionally-articulated.
A method, comprising:
- automatically selecting a specific search dimension association for at least one of a plurality of input terms within a dimensionally-articulated information retrieval system.
The method of claim 67, wherein articulation of at least one of the plurality of input terms is additionally articulated via a logical expression or operator.
