An approach for searching within previous search results for new search results is provided. In one aspect, a first computer receives first search contexts from a second computer. The first search contexts include parameters including characteristics of elements of second search contexts and parameters including weight of importance to the user that elements of the second search contexts includes the characteristics of the first search contexts. In addition, the first computer searches for the characteristics of the elements of the second search contexts in a repository. In another aspect, the first computer determines a match between the characteristics of the elements of the second search contexts and characteristics elements of the first search contexts, and wherein the first computer ranks a list of the new search results based on the determination.
