Upon receiving a search query, POS tags are assigned to the words comprising the query to create query word-tag pairs. The query word-tag pairs are utilized to reformulate the query and are compared with document word-tag pairs included in a plurality of potential search result documents to determine a degree of similarity. The degree of similarity is utilized as an input in scoring and/or ranking the relevance of the potential search result documents with respect to one another.
