DETECTING AND RESPONDING TO SINGLE ENTITY INTENT QUERIES

摘要

Systems and methods are presented to respond to a search query that is determined to be a single entity intent search query, i.e., the intent of the requesting computer user is information regarding a single entity. Upon receiving the search query, search results relevant to the query are identified, where each of the search results are scored according to their relevancy to the received search query. An evaluation is made as to whether the search query is a single entity intent search query. Upon determining that the search query has a single entity intent, the obtained search results are truncated to the most relevant search result, and a search results page corresponding to the most relevant search result is generated and returned to the requesting computer user.
