1. A computer-based search engine method for a processor and a storage device including instructions configured to run on the processor to electronically extract predicted machine-readable search engine query information items from a collection of stored, machine-readable electronic documents along with timing for the machine-readable query information items, comprising:
electronically accessing linguistic content of at least a subset of the stored electronic documents using an electronically accessed interface, wherein each particular electronic document in the subset has a publication time and includes different machine-readable predictive information about one or more future facts occurring after the publication time,
electronically extracting the predictive information including a predicted time of occurrence for one or more of the future facts from linguistic analysis of the linguistic content of the accessed documents, and
electronically deriving one or more predicted machine-readable search engine query information items formatted in such a way as to electronically search stored, machine-readable electronic documents using a search engine and timing for the predicted machine-readable search engine query information items based on the predictive information extracted electronically in the step of extracting.
