1. A method for searching for a media asset comprising: receiving, using control circuitry, a first search query from a user; determining, using the control circuitry, a first syntactic mapping and a first contextual mapping of the first query; receiving, using control circuitry, a second search query from the user; determining, using control circuitry, a second syntactic mapping and a second contextual mapping of the second query; merging, using control circuitry, the first and second search queries; determining, using control circuitry, a third syntactic mapping and a third contextual mapping of the merged query; determining, using control circuitry, that a portion of the third syntactic mapping of the merged query corresponding to second query terms and the second syntactic mapping of the second query are syntactically equivalent; and in response to the determining that the second syntactic mapping and the portion of the third syntactic mappings are syntactically equivalent, selecting, using control circuitry, the second or third contextual mappings based on user information, and determining, using the control circuitry, based on the selected contextual mapping, a media asset related to the first and second queries.
