Identifying conceptually related terms in search query results

A system for identifying conceptually related terms in a search result, comprising:

• a computing device;
• and
• a computer program comprising program modules executable by the computing device, wherein the computing device is directed by the program modules of the computer program to:
• receive a search query,
• perform a search of one or more databases according to the search query to produce the search result,
• once the search result has been produced,
• identify terms corresponding to the search query,
• identify words in the search query terms,
• identify potential phrases that can be made from the identified words,
• find each word and each phrase in the search result that is deemed to be non-synonymic, non-morphological, and conceptually related to the identified words, or potential phrases, or both,
• specify the locations of each word and each phrase found in the search result to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both, and
• present the search result to a user on a display device in such a manner as to visually distinguish each word and each phrase found in the search result to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both, from other words and phrases in the search result.

A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon for identifying conceptually related terms in a search result, said computer-executable instructions comprising:

• performing a search of one or more databases according to a search query to produce the search result;
• identifying terms corresponding to the search query;
• identifying word tokens in the search query terms;
• identifying potential phrases that can be made from the identified word tokens;
• and
• finding each word and each phrase in the search result that is deemed to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both;
• specifying the locations of each word and each phrase found in the search result to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both;
• and
• transmitting the search result and location specifications of each word and each phrase found in the search result to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both, to another computer, wherein the other computer presents the search result to a user on a display device in such a manner as to visually distinguish each word and each phrase found in the search result to be conceptually related to the identified word tokens, or potential phrases, or both, from other words and phrases in the search result;
• and wherein
• said computer storage media consists of at least one of RAM, or ROM, or EEPROM, or flash memory, or CD-ROM, or digital versatile disks (DVD), or other optical storage, or magnetic cassettes, or magnetic tape, or magnetic disk storage, or other magnetic storage devices.
