Abstract
A method comprises receiving at a computing device, a search query, performing, by the computing device, a semantic analysis of the search query to identify one or more semantic concepts contained within the query, selecting, by the computing device, one or more corpora, or portions thereof, based on the identified semantic concepts, and performing, by the computing device, a search of the one or more corpora based on the search query.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving at a computing device, a search query;
- performing, by the computing device, a semantic analysis of the search query to identify one or more semantic concepts contained within the query;
- selecting, by the computing device, one or more corpora based on the one or more identified semantic concepts;
- and
- performing, by the computing device, a search of the one or more corpora based on the search query.
2 more elements
A system for performing federated search, the system comprising:
- a processing device;
- and
- a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause the processing device to:
- receive a search query from a user;
- perform semantic analysis of the search query and identify one or more semantic concepts contained in the search query;
- store data associated with a plurality of federated search endpoints and a syntax required to access each federated search endpoint, wherein each federated search endpoint is associated with a corpus of documents;
- select one or more federated search endpoints based on the identified semantic concepts;
- and
- create a formatted search query for each of the one or more federated search endpoints based on the search query and the syntax required to access each federated search endpoint.
6 more elements
A system for performing federated search, the system comprising:
- a federation of one or more endpoints;
- a processing device;
- and
- a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause the processing device to:
- receive a search query and federate the search query to one or more of the endpoints of the federation by submitting a formatted search query to each of the one or more endpoints;
- wherein:
- each of the endpoints of the federation is associated with a corpus of documents;
- and
- each of the endpoints of the federation is configured to receive a formatted search query, perform a search of the corpus associated with the endpoints, and return search results along with statistics associated with relevancy of the search results.
