A method for providing highly relevant answers in response to a user's request uses contextual information pertaining to a user's request. A semantic entity is selected from content on the device and contextual information pertaining to the selected entity is transmitted to a server. The server constructs a query corresponding to the selected entity and translates the query into a set of simple queries; submits the simple queries to a relevant subset of a plurality of search, content and monetization sources; receives a plurality of results returned from the relevant subset of search, content and monetization sources in response to the simple queries; prioritizes the received results based on elements of the selected entity, the user, context about the selected entity, time and date, original location of the user, and aspects of the application on which the entity was selected; and presents a prioritized list of the results to the user on the client device. |
