Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for managing event data and exploring the event data in an event database are provided. A data acquisition system may process the event database to remove duplicates and assign event data ranks to the event data. The event data rank may be based on query log data. In turn, a search engine communicatively connected to the event database may generate search results that include the event data. The search engine may receive an event data search request from a user. The event data matching the event data search request is retrieved from the event database and formatted, by the search engine, for display in rank order based on the event data rank, proximity of user location to an event location, and extent of query match in various event fields like title, description, etc.
