SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUICKLY DETERMINING A SUBSET OF IRRELEVANT DATA FROM LARGE DATA CONTENT

The present invention is directed to a system and method for quickly searching for all irrelevant data items in a data set based on a logical expression of an issue of interest to a user, which describes what the user is searching for. By performing this search, the size of data set that the system needs to search to find relevant documents is significantly reduced. The system is also configured to identify terms that are being used in possibly inconsistent ways with their normally accepted means so that code words can be uncovered. Additionally, the system is configured to search for Trade Terms that are not contained in any Dictionaries. In some embodiments, the system and method of the present invention utilize advanced automated search techniques including highlighting capability and use of query terms for determining subsets of relevant or irrelevant content data (in paper or electronic form).
