SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING THE RELEVANCE OF SEARCH RESULTS USING DATA CONTAINER ACCESS PATTERNS

A system and method for improving the relevance of search results using data container access patterns. An indexing process tracks data access patterns and updates an access data structure. When executing a search operation, a search process first identifies a set of data containers containing the search terms. The search process then utilizes the access data structure to rank the identified data containers based on the collected data access pattern information.
