  • Automatic generation of contextual search string synonyms
    Patent number: 9690851
    Abstract: Searches for content may be improved with unique reserved phrases. Reserved phrases may direct queries to specific preselected section of content. Synonyms may be generated and associated with a reserved phrase such that even when queries do not include reserved phrases, the synonyms may be used to map queries to the reserved phrases and the associated content. Synonyms may be generated and filtered such that a synonym is only associated with one reserved phrase thereby reducing search ambiguity.
