The present invention discloses a system and methods for retrieval of most relevant information from a given digital data repository. This is done in the first step by verifying two conditions of relevance, presence of query words plus presence of at least one type of relationship between the words in the data record. Additionally a numeric relevance score is computed for each relevant record, such that they can be sorted descendingly according to this relevance metric. The most relevant results will be shown first, while irrelevant records are eliminated. This reduces the volume of the results substantially. The information retrieval system according to this invention includes: a data pre-processing component where multiple steps of processing is performed, a second new data repository where the modified data is stored, a user interface with the capability of real-time translation of user's query, a search engine, and computing hardware in a distributed architecture.
