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 the control circuitry, a second search query from the user; determining, using the control circuitry, a second syntactic mapping and a second contextual mapping of the second query; merging, using the control circuitry, the first and second search queries; determining, using the control circuitry, a third syntactic mapping and a third contextual mapping of the merged query; determining, using the 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 the 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.

The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a contextual mapping of any query includes determining context identifiers associated with the query.
