Techniques are described herein for classifying a search query with respect to query intent using search result tag ratios. A tag is a character or a combination of characters (e.g., one or more words) that indicates a property of a document, such as a topic of the document, a type of entity (i.e., subject matter) the document references, etc. A search result tag ratio is defined as a fraction (e.g., a proportion, a percentage, etc.) of the documents in a search result that includes a respective tag. A search query may be classified based on back-off ratios, which are tag ratios of search queries that are related to the search query to be classified. Tag ratios may be pre-computed (i.e., calculated before the corresponding search queries are received from users).
