Abstract

A method of parametric group processing includes forming a parametric index from an indexed database. A first parametric group and a second parametric group corresponding to elements in the parametric index are specified. The first parametric group and the second parametric group are merged to produce a merged parametric group. A parametric result is extracted from the merged parametric group, where the parametric result specifies a set of documents.
