A media guidance application may detect that results provided in response to a natural language query entered by the user are not relevant to the user. The media guidance application may then identify a media asset type and a media asset name that corresponds to the natural language query. Based on the media asset type and the media asset name, the media guidance application may select an information resource, transmit the natural language query to the information resource, and retrieve and generate for display an answer to the natural language query from the information resource.
