Abstract
The ability to search for content such as documents and other resources is enhanced through the use of two external sources of information. Each of the external sources may provide information (e.g., metadata) that may be employed as searchable tags that may be used by a search engine to locate the resources. A first level of tags may be obtained in a variety of different ways. For example, information extracted from a resource may be sent to a metadata service provider which can provide suitable metadata associated with the resource. This metadata, which may serve as the first level of tags, may be subsequently sent to a second metadata service provider to obtain additional metadata that may serve as the second level of tags.
