People search based on collateral features

Abstract

1. Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for finding electronic resources for person names associated with an object searched (linked to it). In one embodiment, a search query is received. A listing of unique person names with their brief profiles associated with the search query is generated. A person name is selected from the list of the unique person names based on a decision of a user. The search query is updated by merging the initial request and the selected person profile. A listing of electronic resources meeting the latter search query is generated for presentation on a user interface. The listing includes resources associated with a particular person in association with the initial request. 2. The methods, systems, and apparatus of claim 1 further allowing to combine catalogues' fields like Actor or Economist from the Activity catalogue, American or French from the Nationality catalogue, Arab or Slavic from Ethnicity catalogue, Baptist or Catholic from Religious Affiliation catalogue, and so on for such catalogues as Awards, Political Party, Membership, Alma Mater, and to search for a list of unique persons meeting the request aggregated from the catalogues.
