Abstract
A method in a data processing system and apparatus for organizing files, data items, web site members, or web pages, structured or unstructured, of multiple users stored across one or more server computers into hierarchical file structures on a recordable medium of a data processing system. A user-defined metalabel is assigned to each of the electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages that are organized as a function of the metalabels into the hierarchical file structures. The method includes automatically weighting of individual metalabels as a function of a relevance of the at least one searchable term found in the corresponding one of the electronic files, data items, web site members, or web pages. Searching the plurality of hierarchical structures can then be done with a query including at least one term and a relevance threshold returning the matched data.
