A method and system for searching index databases allows a user to search for specific information using high-level key words, questions, or sentences. The system includes three main segments: a searchable content database, a run time search component, and a user interface. The searchable content database includes a full text index and a lookup table. The search component includes a results list database, an exact match search, a natural language processor (NLP), and a full text search. Indexes, prioritized search tokens, and word clusters are combined to create a better search experience. A user's query is processed into prioritized clustered tokens using the NLP, token priority rules, and word clusters.
