Patent number: 8805867Abstract: A system receives a search query, determines whether the received search query includes an entity name, and determines whether the entity name is associated with a common word or phrase. When the entity name is associated with a common word or phrase, the system generates a link to a rewritten query, performs a search based on the received search query to obtain first search results, and provides the first search results and the link to the rewritten query. When the entity name is not associated with a common word or phrase, the system rewrites the received search query to include a restrict identifier associated with the entity name, generates a link to the received search query, performs a search based on the rewritten search query to obtain second search results, and provides the second search results and the link to the received search query.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Hong Zhou, Krishna Bharat, Michael Schmitt, Michael Curtiss, Marissa Mayer
