    Abstract: A method and system for providing relationships in search results are provided. The method includes indexing an entity in a search index as an entity index entry, the entity index entry including facets providing information on the entity type and related entities. Search results are obtained by a search engine in the form of ranked result entities, wherein the result entities include multiple types of entities. The method then includes retrieving index entries to determine relationships between search result entities and providing the relationships in search results. The method further includes, for each result entity, retrieving its entity index entry and cross-checking the facets of the retrieved entity index entry for other result entities.
