Abstract
The disclosure is directed at a method and system for improved search functionality. By using natural language processing (NLP), individual words in a search term may be parsed and then individually stored. The relationships between the individual words of the search term may also be stored such that when the search is repeated, the previous results may be retrieved and, if not, a more accurate search may be performed.
