See full text

A method of performing automated collection selection relative to a plurality of document collections, each including one or more documents, using a list of qualified terms developed from an input query text. The method comprises the steps of: (a) parsing the input query text to select single-word terms and multiple-word phrase terms from the query text by exclusion of predetermined context-free single-word terms and punctuation; (b) applying each such selected term against a meta-index descriptive of the document collections; (c) determining cumulative rankings for the document collections relative to each such selected term normalized against the plurality of document collections; and (d) selecting a set of the document collections having the highest relative cumulative rankings.
