Each digital asset has at least one keyword associated with it, and each associated keyword is part of a hierarchical organization of keywords. A first set of digital assets that have associated keywords equivalent to the search query is identified as well as suggested keywords that have e.g., an ancestor, descendant or sibling relation to the search query. The digital assets and the suggested keywords are presented to the user. The user selects a suggested keyword, and a second set of digital assets that have associated keywords equivalent to the suggested keyword is identified.
