Abstract
This invention provides a contextual search tool to a user. The contextual search tool receives a search from the user and provides search results, content, and dynamic contextual information (e.g., dynamic contextual questions, user information, and account information) to the user. The contextual search tool then receives contextual information input from the user (input for the dynamic contextual information, selection of the search results, or the like) and updates the search results and the dynamic contextual information. As such, the invention of the present invention improves the ability of the contextual search tool to provide tailored, customized, and relevant search results to the user based not only on the search terms provided by the user, but based on dynamic contextual information that changes as the user takes actions within the contextual search interface.
