Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatically implementing one or more improved navigation paths between content items provided by a content management system. The content management system comprises a search service with a search monitoring component configured for monitoring search queries issued by a client application and for determining navigation paths used by a user of the client application for navigating between content items searched for by the monitored first search queries. The search service further comprises a navigation optimization component configured for determining improved navigation paths using the navigation paths determined by the search monitoring component. The navigation optimization component creates additional navigations which directly link a start content item and a target content item. The additional navigation path is assigned to be provided to the client application for display as part of a search query result.
