Summary:A method, system, and computer program product for applying a graphical hierarchical context in a search query. A Hierarchical Context Ordering (HCO) utility monitors receipt of a search string entry. Upon detection of the search string entry, HCO utility determines at least one search result that is associated with the detected search string entry. Responsive to receipt of a selected search result, HCO utility identifies existing hierarchical placement information associated with at least one of the selected search result and at least one duplicate result of the selected search result. At least one of the selected search result and the at least one duplicate result is outputted within a topical hierarchy containing the hierarchical placement information. According to another embodiment, prior to the outputting step, at least one non-relevant topic from the existing hierarchical placement information is removed.
