    Co-Inventor of Role Based Search, a system and method for online searching using information about the searchers job or profession to prioritize search results. Search term categorization and prioritization can enable users in particular demographic classes (roles) to benefit from the knowledge of the demographic class as a whole by leveraging search terms and destination sites visited by users of the demographic class as a whole. Demographic information is analyzed and categorized by certain criteria, such as the organization's general field of operation and the employees' specific departments, responsibilities, roles, functions, job titles, job descriptions, and responsibility levels. For example, if an employee has the term "marketing" in her title, she may be categorized as belonging to the category "marketing."

    A particular search term may index higher for one particular job title, such as salesperson, than it would for another job title, such as accountant. For example, the term "clinical trial" might be included in 0.5 percent of all searches done by the demographic category "medical professionals," but is only included in about 0.001 percent of searches for an average user. A particular search term may also index higher for a particular responsibility level than it would for another. For example, a seasoned partner at an accounting firm may have a substantially different index for the term "earned income" than does a newly employed accounting associate.

    Each demographic category will have its own unique set of search terms, indexed highest to lowest. As users continue to use the search, the indexes will become more refined and will continually lead to better results. Additionally each demographic category will have its own unique set of destination sites, indexed highest to lowest. The categorizing and indexing of destination sites iis a way of identifying what have proven to be useful destination sites for a particular demographic category.
