Method for obtaining search suggestions from fuzzy score matching and population frequencies

A system comprising:

• a server configured to:
• compare a search query against a first collection of data and a second collection data, wherein the search query is received over a network from a client,
• identify a first entity in the search query based on the comparison,
• identify a feature in the search query not identified as associated with the first entity,
• associate the feature with the first entity,
• assign a first score to the first entity based on a second score assigned to the feature,
• receive a first list based on from the first collection of data and a second list based on the second collection of data, wherein the first list comprises a second entity comprising a third score within a first distance from the first score, wherein the second list comprises a third entity comprising a fourth score within a second distance from the first score,
• generate a third list based on the first list and the second list, wherein the third list comprises the second entity and the third entity,
• provide, over the network, the third list to the client.

A computer-readable storage device storing a set of computer-executable instructions instructive to implement a method comprising:

• comparing, by a server, a search query against a first collection of data and a second collection data, wherein the search query is received over a network from a client;
• identifying, by the server, a first entity in the search query based on the comparing;
• identifying, by the server, a feature in the search query not identified as associated with the first entity;
• associating, by the server, the feature with the first entity;
• assigning, by the server, a first score to the first entity based on a second score assigned to the feature;
• receiving, by the server, a first list based on from the first collection of data and a second list based on the second collection of data, wherein the first list comprises a second entity comprising a third score within a first distance from the first score, wherein the second list comprises a third entity comprising a fourth score within a second distance from the first score;
• generating, by the server, a third list based on the first list and the second list, wherein the third list comprises the second entity and the third entity;
• providing, by the server, over the network, the third list to the client.
