Abstract
A session initiation with an information system is detected, the session including a search for a data item in the information system. In an application executing using a processor and a memory, a node is constructed in a search tree, the node representing a search-related step occurring in the session. The node is configured with at least a search term used in the search and a context within which the search is performed using the search term. The node is positioned relative to a second node in the search tree, where the second node corresponds to a second search that was performed prior to the search in the session. The search tree is output as a part of a search journal corresponding to the session.
