ABSTRACT:
A method improves a search in a hierarchical structure by focusing the search to selected regions within the structure. The method defines one or more region-sets and uses the region-set(s) as either a filter for the results of a key-word search or an integrated part of a search engine to increase the efficiency of the search engine. The method also provides for dynamic creation of new region-sets from existing region-sets using a prescribed set of operators.
