Abstract
A method and system generate an inferential network. Records of searches of a network of linked nodes are stored. Each of the nodes is connected to another one of the nodes by a link. Further, each of the records includes: 1) search terms used in a corresponding search; and 2) results of the corresponding search. The results correspond to nodes of the network. The stored records are analyzed to infer relationships between pairs of nodes of the network. Each of the relationships is inferred from the behavior of one of the nodes of a pair of nodes relative to the other node of the pair of nodes. Inferential nodes corresponding to the nodes of the pairs of nodes are generated, and inferential links between the inferential nodes are generated. The inferential links correspond to the inferred relationships.
