Patent number: 9928299Abstract: A search system and method for searching for electronic documents, and providing a search result in response to a search query. In one embodiment, the search system includes a processor, a user interface module adapted to receive a search query from a user that includes a search query term, a search engine that electronically searches for electronic documents that satisfy the search query term, and a query processing module that identifies at least one alternative term for the search query term, and provides the alternative term to the user interface module for display to the user, and also provides the alternative term to the search engine to search for electronic documents that satisfy the alternative term.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: TEXTDIGGER, INC.Inventor: Timothy A. Musgrove

Patent number: 9400838Abstract: A search system for searching for electronic documents, and providing a search result in response to a search query is provided. The search system includes a processor, a user interface module adapted to receive a search query from a user, the search query having at least one search query term, and a query processing module that analyzes the search query term to identify candidate synonym words. The query processing module also determines which of the candidate synonym words are equivalent terms to the search query term, and in a same sense as the search query term. In addition, the search system includes a search engine that executes a search based on the search query term and the equivalent terms.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2006Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: TEXTDIGGER, INC.Inventors: Timothy A. Musgrove, Robin H. Walsh

Patent number: 8862573Abstract: A search system with a user interface module that generates a search engine results page including a listing of reference documents, each with a hyperlink to at least one secondary document relevant to the reference document. The search system also includes a text function tagger that parses text excerpts of the documents, and applies text function tags thereto. A secondary processing module is provided which identifies those secondary documents that have a text function tag that matches a text function tag of a reference document, so that selection of the hyperlink generates a display of secondary documents that are determined to at least have a text function tag that matches a text function tag of the reference document for which corresponding hyperlink was selected. A method and computer readable medium are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2007Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Textdigger, Inc.Inventor: Timothy A. Musgrove

Publication number: 20090254540Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically generating tags for digital content are provided. The method is adapted to be run on a computer, which is an example of the type of apparatus which may generate the tags. The generated tags describe the digital content, and may be used as topics for the content to organize, retrieve, and process the content. The tag generation begins by accessing content from a content collection unit and a tags candidate tag database unit, which are then processed using techniques from computational linguistics in a multi-pass process that generates sets of tags, then refines and normalizes them. Finally, scores are generated and stored along with the tags.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2008Publication date: October 8, 2009Applicant: TextDigger, Inc.Inventors: Timothy A. MUSGROVE, Robin H. WALSH

Publication number: 20060235843Abstract: A system and method for semantic search for electronic documents stored on a computer readable media, and providing a search result in response to a query. The system includes a corpus including a plurality of electronic documents that are domain tagged at a document level and analyzed based on the tags to identify word usage patterns. An index of word usage patterns is provided that indexes the plurality of documents in the corpus according to their word usage patterns. The system also includes a query pre-processing module that receives a query from a user, and analyzes the query to determine probable word usage patterns in the query. The system further includes a processor that uses the index to identify documents having word usage patterns that matches the probable word usage patterns in the query as a candidate electronic document, and retrieves the candidate electronic document.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2006Publication date: October 19, 2006Applicant: TextDigger, Inc.Inventors: Timothy Musgrove, Robin Walsh
