    Abstract: Systems and methods for searching for a healthcare provider based on an automatically-identified search context are provided. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, from a user, a search query, identifying one or more search contexts in a structured dictionary of medical terminology that at least partially matches the search query, calculating similarity scores for each of the one or more search contexts, selecting at least one search context of the one or more search contexts based on the calculated scores, performing a search for healthcare providers corresponding to the at least one search context, and displaying, to the user, results of the search including at least one healthcare provider. In this way, the search results may only include relevant results, so users may not be overwhelmed by a large volume of marginally-relevant search results.
