1. A method for disambiguating a search query, the method comprising:
receiving, at a first time during display of media content, an ambiguous search query related to the media content;
identifying a frame of the media content being displayed at the first time;
determining a first portion of the identified frame corresponding to a gaze of the user at the first time;
retrieving metadata associated with the first portion of the identified frame;
generating a first disambiguated search query using the ambiguous search query and the metadata;
generating for output a search result for the first disambiguated search query;
receiving input indicating that the first disambiguated search query is not correct;
in response to receiving the input indicating that the first disambiguated search query is not correct, determining an enlarged portion of the identified frame, wherein a center point of the enlarged portion is same as a center point of the first portion of the identified frame, wherein determining the enlarged portion comprises enlarging the first portion until at least one additional entity is encompassed therein;
retrieving metadata associated with the enlarged portion of the identified frame;
generating a second disambiguated search query using the ambiguous search query and the metadata associated with the enlarged portion of the identified frame; and
generating for output a search result for the second disambiguated search query.
