A system for conducting a search of a database comprising the steps of:
- a user entering a first search term to the program;
- dissecting by the program, the first search term into its component parts using a dictionary algorithm;
- searching a first database using the first search term and saving a first result;
- the user modifying the first result to form a second search term wherein the second search term includes at least one synonym from the first search term;
- and
- conducting a second search using the second search term.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device controller, to cause the instructions to:
- determine a variation of a search term corresponding to an initial search term;
- and the variation corresponding to the search term in meaning, category, rhyme or cadence.
