Abstract

A method and system for generating and utilizing a profile of a user of a computer-based information handling system is disclosed. The information handling system is searched by a profiler for files stored thereon that have been edited by the user. A located file is searched for words contained in the file, and a list of words contained in the file is compiled and added to a profile database. Descriptive information to be matched is received and compared to words stored in a profile database. If one or more words in the profile database matches the descriptive information, a match is recorded, and a score is calculated and returned.
