  • Problem isolation through weighted search of knowledge bases
    Patent number: 8010528
    Abstract: A computer program product for problem isolation through a weighted search of knowledge bases includes computer useable program code that generates an aggregate relevance index which ranks the search results. The aggregate relevance index is calculated using a measure of relevance of each of said pertinent documents across all keyword searches. A method for problem isolation through the weighted search of knowledge bases comprises searching knowledge bases using extracted keywords to identify pertinent documents contained within said knowledge databases; and generating a global rank associated with each of the pertinent documents, the global rank being calculated using a measure of the relevance of each of the pertinent documents across all keyword searches and a measure of the relevance of each of the keywords to the records as a whole.
