Methods and apparatus for providing search results in response to an ambiguous search query |
摘要 |
Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention allow a user to submit an ambiguous search query and to receive relevant search results. In one embodiment, a sequence of numbers received from a user of a standard telephone keypad is translated into a set of potentially corresponding alphanumeric sequences. These potentially corresponding alphanumeric sequences are provided as an input to a conventional search engine, using a boolean "OR" expression, and the search results are presented to the user. The search engine effectively limits search results to those in which the user was likely interested.
