Creating a Query-Based Taxonomy 
You create a query-based taxonomy in order to be able to classify documents on the basis of search queries. For more information, see Classifying Documents.
You have two options when you create a query-based taxonomy — you can either create it from scratch or use an existing folder hierarchy.

Procedure
Creating Query-Based Taxonomies
You have two options when you create a query-based taxonomy:
Creating a taxonomy using new folder hierarchy
Use this procedure if you want to create a query-based taxonomy and corresponding folder structure from scratch. That is, you do not want to use an existing folder hierarchy for the taxonomy. For more information, see Creating a Query-Based Taxonomy from Scratch.
Creating a taxonomy using an existing folder hierarchy
Use this procedure if you want to create a query-based taxonomy based on an existing folder hierarchy. For more information, see Creating a Query-Based Taxonomy Using a Folder Hierarchy.
Defining the Categories of the Taxonomy Using Queries
Understanding the hierarchal structure of taxonomies
For more information, see Hierarchical Search Queries.
Using the Taxonomy Query Builder
In the Taxonomy Query Builder, you define search queries for the categories of a query-based taxonomy. For more information, see Taxonomy Query Builder.
