Abstract

A computer system includes a natural language processing (NLP) unit, a storage unit, a user interface and a search engine. The NLP unit analyzes a content source to identify one or more sections containing searchable content and generate section metadata respective to each identified section included in the content source. The storage unit stores the section metadata and the user interface receives a section-scoped query aimed at searching an identified section corresponding to the at least one first section metadata stored in the storage unit without searching an identified section corresponding to at least one second section metadata stored in the storage unit. Based on the section-scoped query, the search engine analyzes the at least one first section metadata stored in the storage unit without analyzing the at least one second section metadata.
