Abstract
A mechanism is provided for re-ranking search results based on a personal medical condition. One or more medical conditions associated with a patient are identified based on an analysis of patient information associated with the patient. The one or more medical conditions are correlated with a set of medical condition content indicator data structures. A search query corresponding to the patient is processed to generate initial search results that are ranked with an initial ranking. The initial search results are analyzed based on a patient specific dictionary data structure corresponding to the one or more medical conditions associated with the patient. The content of the initial search results are re-ranked to generate re-ranked search results having a modified ranking that is based on the one or more medical conditions of the patient. The re-ranked search results are output to the patient in accordance with the modified ranking.
