Abstract

A system for conducting queries from any document displayed on any computer device, comprising the creation of more focused “brilliant queries” by conducting a statistical frequency analysis of the word occurrence in the document to determine both the primary subject matter (the hook) of the corpus and the keywords in the corpus, using editorial judgment or filtering of the keyword list to determine the most important keywords, application and tuning of the keyword set to target particular databases and adding the suggested hook/keyword combinations to the document for use by the computer user in selecting queries.
