An improved human user computer interface system, wherein a user characteristic or set of characteristics, such as demographic profile or societal “role”, is employed to define a scope or domain of operation. The operation itself may be a database search, to interactively define a taxonomic context for the operation, a business negotiation, or other activity. After retrieval of results, a scoring or ranking may be applied according to user define criteria, which are, for example, commensurate with the relevance to the context, but may be, for example, by date, source, or other secondary criteria. A user profile is preferably stored in a computer accessible form, and may be used to provide a history of use, persistent customization, collaborative filtering and demographic information for the user. Advantageously, user privacy and anonymity is maintained by physical and algorithmic controls over access to the personal profiles, and releasing only aggregate data without personally identifying information or of small groups.

A local database cache enabling persistent, adaptive caching of either full or partial content of a remote database is provided. Content of tables comprising a local cache database is defined on per-table basis. A table is either: defined declaratively and populated in advance of query execution, or is determined dynamically and asynchronously populated on-demand during query execution. Based on a user input query originally issued against a remote DBMS and referential cache constraints between tables in a local database cache, a Janus query plan, comprising local, remote, and probe query portions is determined. A probe query portion of a Janus query plan is executed to determine whether up-to-date results can be delivered by the execution of a local query portion against a local database cache, or whether it is necessary to retrieve results from a remote database by executing a remote query portion of Janus query plan.

Methods and systems are provided to present the search results in response to a search query that is submitted to a document retrieval system, such as a search engine. The search results are presented with a second-retrieval model that constructs multiple derived queries for the search query with a first small-document retrieval process, and then generates and outputs the results based on the retrieval of search results of at least part of the derived queries. One embodiment of the invention provides a method for grouping the search results, which presents ranked derived queries together with their search results to the user, in such a way that derived queries with higher ranks and top-ranked documents of each derived query are preferentially presented, and the grouped results are displayed and navigated in independent framed subareas of an output window. A further embodiment selects the search results from multiple result lists of the derived queries to form the final search results for the user query, wherein the merged results are re-ranked according to pre-determined criteria. The method can also be integrated with the local keyword associated clustering method by rank value adjustment, or result filtering or merging to achieve better technical effects.
