A method for Automatic Query Refinement, the method including extracting at least one lexical affinity from at least one document in a search result set of documents, the set resulting from the application of a first query to a document search engine, adding the lexical affinity to the first query, thereby forming a new query, and applying the new query to the document search engine, resulting in a new search result set.
