This patent details an information retrieval system that significantly advances the capabilities of search engines by emphasizing phrase-based indexing, searching, and document processing. Unlike traditional systems that rely solely on individual keywords, this system identifies, indexes, and utilizes phrases and their relationships to enhance search results, document classification, and user interaction. It addresses the limitations of Boolean search models and improves upon the concept-based retrieval methods by efficiently managing phrase-based data.
