Search improvement using historic code points associated with characters

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, causes the computing device to:

• analyze a user query to identify a set of characters in the user query and an encoding code point associated with each character;
• determine whether any of the encoding code points exist within a historic code point table, wherein the historic code point table is generated by the computer readable program causing the computing device to:
• identify, an encoding associated with a search engine;
• based on the identified encoding, identify an associated encoding table;
• for each character within the encoding table, determine when the character was promoted to an official character;
• responsive to identifying that the character was promoted to an official character, add the character to the historic code point table;
• add a code point value associated with the character to the historic code point table;
• identify at least one historic private user area value;
• and
• add the at least one historic private user area value to the historic code point table;
• responsive to at least one encoding code point existing within the historic code point table, retrieve all code points associated with each identified encoding code point in the user query from the historic code point table;
• create a modified user query that utilizes the encoding code points of the user query and the code points from the historic code point table;
• and
• execute the modified user query.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• analyze a user query to identify a set of characters in the user query and an encoding code point associated with each character;
• determine whether any of the encoding code points exist within a historic code point table wherein the historic code mint table is generated by the instructions further causing the processor to:
• identify an encoding associated with a search engine;
• based on the identified encoding, identify an associated encoding table;
• for each character within the encoding table, determine when the character was promoted to an official character;
• responsive to identifying that the character was promoted to an official character, add the character to the historic code point table;
• add an encoding code point value associated with the character to the historic code point table;
• identify at least one historic private user area value;
• and
• add the at least one historic private user area value to the historic code point table;
• responsive to at least one encoding code point existing within the historic code point table, retrieve all code points associated with each identified encoding code point in the user query from the historic code point table;
• create a modified user query that utilizes the encoding code points of the user query and the code points from the historic code point table;
• and
• execute the modified user query.
