Intent-resolution using a phrase index may include obtaining data expressing a usage intent, the data expressing the usage intent including an unresolved data portion, identifying a phrase fragment based on the data expressing the usage intent and a defined phrase pattern, the phrase fragment including the unresolved data portion, identifying, by a processor, an indexed phrase as by searching a phrase index based on the phrase fragment, wherein the indexed phrase at least partially matches the phrase fragment in accordance with the defined phrase pattern, in response to identifying the indexed phrase, obtaining a resolved request representing the data expressing the usage intent in accordance with the indexed phrase, generating a data query in accordance with the resolved request and a defined structured query language, obtaining results data responsive to execution of the data query by a database that implements the defined structured query language, and outputting the results data.

Phrase indexing

Search guidance includes generating user interface data for at least a portion of a user interface including a user input element, a data-analytics request construct card, and a data-analytics guidance portion. The data-analytics request construct card includes text describing usage of a data-analytics request construct card grammatical function. The user interface data is output for presentation to a user. Data-analytic request construct card data expressing usage intent is received and updated user interface data is generated. The updated user interface data corresponds to an updated user input element in accordance with the data-analytic request construct card data and an updated data-analytics guidance portion in accordance with the data-analytic request construct card data. The updated user interface data is output. Resolved-request data is generated in accordance with the data-analytic request construct card data. A visualization representing results data obtained in accordance with the resolved-request data is output.

Search guidance

Intent-resolution using a phrase index may include obtaining data expressing a usage intent, the data expressing the usage intent including an unresolved data portion, identifying a phrase fragment based on the data expressing the usage intent and a defined phrase pattern, the phrase fragment including the unresolved data portion, identifying, by a processor, an indexed phrase as a candidate phrase by searching a phrase index based on the phrase fragment, wherein the candidate phrase at least partially matches the phrase fragment in accordance with the defined phrase pattern, and outputting the candidate phrase for presentation to a user as a candidate for resolving the unresolved portion.

Search guidance methods and system are described. A method includes generating user interface data for at least a portion of a user interface for performing data-analytics with respect to a low-latency database analysis system, the portion including a text string user input element, a data-analytics construct card type, and a data-analytics guidance portion. The data-analytics construct card type includes text on usage of a data-analytics construct card grammatical function with respect to a data-analytics grammar used by the system to process data associated with the data-analytics construct card type. The user interface data is output for presentation to a user. Data associated with the data-analytics construct card construct type is received, the text string user input element is output with the data, and an updated data-analytics guidance portion is output in response to the data. A request for data including the data is processed and results are output.

Intent-resolution using a phrase index may include obtaining data expressing a usage intent, the data indicating an unresolved data portion, identifying a phrase fragment based on the data expressing the usage intent and a phrase pattern, the phrase fragment including the unresolved data portion, identifying candidate tokens, identifying candidate phrases by traversing a phrase index based on the phrase fragment, wherein identifying the candidate phrases includes, in response to a determination that the phrase index includes an indexed phrase at least partially matching the phrase fragment in accordance with the phrase pattern, the indexed phrase is identified as one of the candidate phrases, identifying candidate resolved-requests, weighting and sorting the candidate tokens, the candidate phrases, and the candidate resolved-request, to obtain sorted candidate resolutions, and outputting one or more of the sorted candidate resolutions for presentation to a user as respective candidates for resolving the unresolved data portion.
