Abstract
A method and system for searching using contextual data are provided. The method includes receiving one or more areas of data captured by a user from a display, the data including content and context or structure. The method converts the area of captured data to one or more extensible markup language (XML) representations of the content and context or structure. The method provides multiple hierarchical textual instances with formatting (for example, as hypertext markup language instances) corresponding to the XML representations. A query is generated for searching in a search engine for each textual instance. The one or more areas of data captured by a user include an indication of whether the area of data is selected for content, context, or both.
