Abstract
In an information searching method, information content records are provided in a computer network, each information content record including a tag indicator forming a subset less than a whole of a context hashtag record. When a search query including at least one search term is received from a user, a search is performed of an index of context hashtag records for the at least one search term. The index of context hashtag records is based on data other than only the subset less than the whole of the context hashtag record. Based on the searching, a list of context hashtag record matches is generated, and a search result is returned to the user. The search result includes a list of information content records, each information content record on the result list being associated with at least one context hashtag record on the list of context hashtag record matches.
