Abstract
A method and system for searching and retrieving reusable assets is disclosed. An index file in a database stores reusable assets. A search request history in the database stores past search requests and corresponding past search results. A search program performs a search upon receiving a new search request within the index file and generates a new search result. The search program correlates past search requests to the new search request by comparing search terms in past search requests to search terms in the new search request. Search terms in past search requests are replaced with semantically similar terms based on taxonomy level and synonyms and results of highly correlated past search requests are added to the new search result. Reusability of each reusable asset in the new search result is appraised.
