Systems and methods are described herein for disambiguating a voice search query by determining whether the user made a gesture while speaking a quotation from a content item and whether the user mimicked or approximated a gesture made by a character in the content item when the character spoke the words quoted by the user. If so, a search result comprising an identifier of the content item is generated. A search result representing the content item from which the quotation comes may be ranked highest among other search results returned and therefore presented first in a list of search results. If the user did not mimic or approximate a gesture made by a character in the content item when the quotation is spoken in the content item, then a search result may not be generated for the content item or may be ranked lowest among other search results.
