Publication number: 20040044659Abstract: A search and retrieval permits a user to search free text within sections of schema independent documents. The documents, which may include structured, semi-structured, and unstructured documents, contain text organized into a plurality of sections, such as XML tags. The repository of documents is schema independent, such that the search system does not require pre-defined fields for the sections. To execute a search, the search system receives a query that specifies at least one section and at least one free text query construct for text within the section. In general, the free text query construct specifies at least one free text search condition. The search system identifies sections in the repository of documents as specified in the query, and evaluates the free text query construct for the text within sections to determine whether the free text search condition is met.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2003Publication date: March 4, 2004Inventors: Douglass Russell Judd, Bruce D.

Publication number: 20040039734Abstract: A document section sensitive relevance ranking system for ranking the results of a free-text search as part of a document indexing and document query system is disclosed. The system has a document indexer that accepts structured, semi-structured, or unstructured documents and creates an easily searchable index of the documents. Then, a document query system receives free-text queries, executes the query against the document index, and creates a list of result documents. The configurable relevance ranking system then ranks the individual documents in the document result list into an order of estimated relevance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2003Publication date: February 26, 2004Inventors: Douglass Russell Judd, Ram Subbaroyan, Bruce D.
