Abstract

A computer program product is provided as a system for use with a search engine and a search engine repository to dynamically associate keywords within a search result set encountered in an abstract of a search result item with a domain-specific query. In the system, a local query database stores the domain-specific query, and a synchronization unit synchronizes the search engine repository and the local query database. A query builder builds a search query from a query template using the search engine repository. A summary marker incorporates the search query with the keyword in the abstract of the search result item. A keyword detector generates a list of keywords included in a domain-specific dictionary. A search result calibration manager calibrates the number of the query result items. A search result item buffer receives a request for processing an abstract metadata item from the synchronization unit. The request includes a Universal Resource Locator (URL) and a corresponding abstract, wherein the query builder uses a (URL, keyword) pair to build the domain-specific query from the query template. The summary marker updates the abstract corresponding to the URL in the search e…
