Lexical Navigation provides users a convenient technique for moving between related documents and terms within a collection without ever having to formulate an exact query to retrieve these related entities. It consists of a visual interface client, a server and a back end index and database. We discuss how these components are constructed and utilized to provide useful feedback to the user on additional related information that may be helpful in his information retrieval.
