  • Patent number: 11868332
    Abstract: A data index establishment method obtains M raw data segments and a first-layer mapping relationship through segment fitting on raw data in a raw data table, and further obtains N first key segments and a second-layer mapping relationship through segment fitting on a first key of each raw data segment. In a subsequent data query process, a multi-layer mapping relationship is input from a to-be-queried key sequentially in descending order, until a location of the to-be-queried key in the raw data table is located.

  • Patent number: 10019492
    Abstract: The present application relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a stop word identification method used in an information retrieval system. In a stop word identification method, after a first query input by a user is acquired, a second query that belongs to a same session as the first query is acquired, and a stop word in the first query is identified according to a change-based feature of each word in the first query relative to the second query. According to the solution provided by the present application, a stop word in a query can be identified more accurately, and efficiency and precision of an information retrieval system are improved.

  • Patent number: 9576035
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for creating and displaying an integrated search and web browser history to a user. In particular, the apparatus includes a processor and a memory including computer program code, and the memory and computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to receive search data provided to a website and navigational data relating to a webpage. The apparatus may determine a relationship between the search data and the navigational data and may further provide for a graphical representation of the search data, the navigational data, and the relationship between the search and navigational data to be displayed to the user. Thus, the user can have not only a record of the webpages accessed or search terms used in the previous search, but also a meaningful organization and contextual representation of the search.
