ADAPTIVE QUERY PROCESSOR FOR QUERY SYSTEMS WITH LIMITED CAPABILITIES

摘要

A query processor determines if an initial query results in a query system having a search engine coupled to a database to identify a limited maximum number of records deliverable by the query system. This limitation is indicative of an incomplete result because records are includable in the query may not be included in the result. In response the query processor generates a plurality of queries that cause the query system to generate results that identify less than the maximum number. The results of the plurality of queries are combined as a response to the initial query. Duplicate records caused by any overlap in the plurality of queries may be eliminated from the combination. Determining a median value of a query range that causes the query system to deliver the maximum number of records may be utilized in the generation of the plurality of queries.
