A system and method are disclosed for identifying relevant content/advertisements to be displayed in response to receiving a search query. The relevant advertisements may be identified based on the contextual relevance compared with the root term of the search query and based on the geographic relevance as compared with a location term of the search query and/or a localness associated with the root term. The search query may be assigned a location identifier based on the location term or based on the localness, which may be used to expand the geographic range for ranking and selecting relevant content/advertisements.
