A geographical location extraction method and tool to infer a likely geographical location from one or more search terms entered as a query by a user on a search engine or the like. The method includes receiving in a computer memory a search term entered by a user and controlling a processor for utilising processes of word analysis, to determine which parts of a search query comprise location names and provide an indicator of the extent to which a given search term or part thereof should be treated as a geographical location, and inferring from the word analysis a likely geographical location. The likely geographical location so inferred may then be stored in computer memory for further processing or display.
