With the massive growth of the web, we have been confronted with a flood of information. Therefore search engine efficiency has major challenges in respect of user query handling issues. And now-a-days contextual similarity of query words is gaining more significance irrespective of keyword-based method. Proposed work is a step towards it. Here focusing area is contextual relatedness of synonyms of particular word with respect to same context as with target word given in user query. Hence, gives rise to Specific-Synonym searching than Generic-Synonym searching. Specifically, it combines Page Count-Based Co-occurrence measures with Sliding Window concept (context based similarity measure) to calculate Contextual Similar Synonym Database that helps in indexing of documents to improve searching. Hence, improve efficiency of search engine to handle user query by reducing irrelevant results to user.
