Abstract:
A computer-implemented system and method performs a search operation. A matching unit is configured to access data included in a data store defining a database of matching query terms and a database of predefined matching keywords. The matching unit is configured to receive a partial query term entered into a displayed search access point. The matching unit is configured to match the partial query term to the database of matching query terms to create a list of corresponding matching terms, then match the corresponding matching query terms to the database of predefined matching keywords to define matched keywords. A relevancy process is performed to define a matched keyword's relevancy, and then top matched keywords are determined based upon the matched keyword relevancy. The matching unit is configured to send a listing to be displayed in a matched keyword results zone adjacent to the displayed search access point, including a hyperlink to a landing location.
