The queries comprise search expressions which are generated for supplementing each one of a series of input words comprising the input data. These search expressions include terms and phrases that are equivalent to each input word and also include expanded acronyms and abbreviations. When required, the search expressions further include words that are close to an input word when it appears to be misspelled.
