1. A computer-implemented method for augmenting a directory without contemporaneous user input comprising:
- accessing at least a first document via a first directory without contemporaneous user selection of said first document, said first document comprising at least in part topical textual content;
deriving at least one keyword indicative of at least one topical content from said first document;
searching as a background operation a plurality of documents in storage in at least one computer without contemporaneous user input of a search location, such that said search comprises searching for documents related by said at least one keyword to said first document, thereby accessing a second document;
determining relevance of said second document to said at least one keyword; and
adding a reference to said second document in a results directory.

11. A computer-implemented method for augmenting a directory comprising:
-
autonomously initiating operation based upon a stored precondition; accessing at least a first document without contemporaneous user selection, wherein said first document comprises at least in part topical textual content; deriving at least one keyword indicative of at least one topical content within said first document; as a background operation, searching in storage in at least one computer for documents related by said at least one keyword to said first document, wherein at least some of said searched documents are independent and not organized in relation to one another; determining relevance of a search-accessed second document to said at least one keyword; and adding a reference to said second document in a results directory. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-implemented method for augmenting a directory comprising:
-
accessing a plurality of grouped documents without contemporaneous user selection initiating said access; deriving a plurality of keywords indicative of an aggregate content of said grouped documents; prioritizing a relative relevance of said keywords; storing said plurality of keywords with regard to said relevance; searching as a background operation storage in at least one computer for documents related to said plurality of stored keywords; determining relevance of a found second document to said plurality of stored keywords; conditionally adding a reference to said second document in a results directory. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
