What does “contextual” or “related” search mean?
A “contextual search” uses information that is associated with your query to return more relevant search results. This information forms the “context” of your search and is generally associated with the web page, email, or article that you’re reading. Most people read an article, an email, or some page from a web browser and then form questions based on that material. They typically they want to dig deeper into the topic or simply look for related information. Y!Q leverages the information you’re already reading to extract the “context” of your search. Thus the name “contextual search.” If you perform a search without typing in a query or simply by selecting text on the webpage, Y!Q will find related information about the text you’ve selected. Thus the term “related search.
