Abstract

See full text

A computerized system and method for providing information for use in medical care. Documents in a medical information resource may have several associated sections, such as title, headings, text, keyword and document type sections. Display of search results resulting from a user's query may be determined based on at least one document section in which the search engine identifies at least one search term. The search engine may generate a set of search terms for identifying documents relevant to a user's query, at least in part, by using a search term synonym resource that includes a plurality of search terms arranged in groups of associated synonyms. Synonyms in an associated group may be arranged in a hierarchical structure such that each synonym in the associated group has a parent, sibling or child relationship with each other synonym in the associated group.
