Abstract: A machine is configured to access a search phrase or other communicated phrase and deconstruct the accessed phrase into multiple sub-phrases. The machine performs an analysis of n-grams that occur within the sub-phrases, generates a set of potentially different sub-phrases from the n-grams, and selects which data source among multiple available video sources should be accessed for each generated sub-phrase in the generated set. For example, the machine may allocate each generated sub-phrase to a corresponding data source and cause the corresponding data source to execute a query based on its corresponding sub-phrase. Thus, the machine chooses from which data source to obtain partial search results that correspond to each sub-phrase generated based on the analyzed n-grams in the accessed phrase.

Abstract: A machine is configured to perform an example method that causes the machine to parse sub-phrases within a phrase, recognize that a sub-phrase has or can have a geographically specific meaning, and notify a user that the sub-phrase is being processed using the geographically specific meaning. For example, supposing a user has communicated a phrase, the machine builds sub-phrases from the n-grams of the phrase and detects that an n-gram has a geographically specific meaning, thus disambiguating the n-gram. This disambiguation is performed using one or more geographically specific databases of n-grams. The machine determines that a geographical location is relevant to the n-gram, selects a specialized search procedure for the n-gram, and obtains search results using the selected specialized search procedure. The machine may also notify the user that the n-gram or a sub-phrase in which the n-gram appears is being processed using the geographically specific meaning.
