Abstract
A framework for enhanced search is provided to enable the user to contextually search documents, based on specified events. A management framework provides systems for obtaining a user's contextual data and the user's interaction data for which a Context Graph and an Interaction Graph are created, respectively. The user's context data include the various events associated with the user. The user's interaction data include times and locations the user interacted with a particular document, which device was used, the type of interaction, etc. The data from the two graphs are correlated and joined into an event graph. Upon receiving a natural language query from a user, one or more contextual query elements are identified, and the event graph is spanned to identify matching results which are then provided to the requesting user device.
