Abstract:

A computer implemented method of finding commonalities among search terms within an electronic database, comprises the steps of: receiving at least two search terms from a user; performing an individual computerized search within the electronic database for each of the at least two search terms; generating a plurality of individual results for each of the at least two search terms; identifying at least one commonality mutually shared by at least two of the plurality of individual results; and presenting the at least one commonality. The at least one commonality can comprise a plurality of commonalities which can be ranked based on the number of search terms with which the commonality is associated, where the commonality associated with the greatest number of search terms is ranked highest. The ranking can be further based on frequency of the commonality across all individual results, link distance or other standard measures of commonality.
