Abstract

In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for servicing requests. The method includes receiving, from a client system, a request comprising a query, where the query includes a first plurality of terms. The method further includes generating, using a thesaurus library, a related query including a second plurality of terms, where at least one term in the second plurality of terms is present in the first plurality of terms. The method further includes issuing the query to a content repository to obtain a first result, issuing the related query to the content repository to obtain a second result, processing the first result and the second result to generate a final result, and providing the final result to the client system.
