An intelligent search functionality is described, in which the search query is optimised through the use of semantic information provided by the elements of an index, or in which context-appropriate metadata tags are presented with search results in order of their potential utility in refining those search results. The step of pre-processing the search input by presenting the user with additional search options is based on metadata associated with various file types. Thus, potential additional selections are offered which are context-aware. The selection of the additional search terms allows the search data entered by the user to be optimised, providing much more focussed and accurate results when compared with a simple keyword search.
