Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-storage media for generating contextual queries are provided. The system includes a search engine to receive user queries and contexts, a query understanding component to generate a semantic representation of the query, and a data source command generator to transform the semantic representation into commands for multiple data sources. The data source command generator is connected to the query understanding component. The data source command generator selects data source commands based on lexical information associated with each data source.

Description

Background technique [0001] Conventional search engines receive queries from users to locate web pages that have terms that match terms included in the received queries. Typically, search engines ignore the context and meaning of a user query and treat the query as a set of words.

For example, a user looking for stock information may enter a query for "PE Company A Stock". A conventional search engine would treat each term individually and return documents with the term "company A", documents with the term "PE", documents with the term "stock", and documents with any of the terms. Conventional search engines ca...
