Abstract: A dynamic portal generation system includes an indexing module that indexes structured and unstructured data in a database. The database includes information residing in associated standalone applications having documents from information sources, and a name-entity repository that includes name entities and their corresponding name-entity types. A search module searches the information residing in the indexed information to obtain a search result. A name-entity extraction module extracts a matching name-entity that corresponds to a name-entity in the name-entity repository. A portal generation module dynamically generates a portal triggered by the search query.
