Abstract

The present invention relates to a methodology to translate exact interpretations of keyword queries into meaningful and grammatically correct plain-language queries in order to convey the meaning of these interpretations to the initiator of the search. The method includes the steps of generating at least one grammatically valid plain-language sentence interpretation for a keyword query from a generated sentence plain-language sentence clauses, wherein the grammatically valid plain-language sentence is based upon differing matching elements, and presenting at least one grammatically valid plain-language sentence interpretation for the keyword query to a keyword query system user for the user's review.
