A method including analyzing the query data to formulate one or more groups of synonym candidates, wherein each synonym in the one or more groups of synonym candidates is categorized in one or more synonym candidate categories. Reformulating the first search query by removing at least one synonym candidate from the first group of synonym candidates to form a first set of synonyms such that each synonym in the first set of synonyms is categorized in the synonym candidate category that matches the search query category of the search query, wherein the at least one synonym candidate removed from the first group of synonym candidates is not categorized in the synonym candidate category.

System, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for generating synonyms of a search query

A system for displaying product information to a customer is described herein. The system includes a database and a server including a processor. The processor is programmed to receive a search query including a plurality of search terms via a computing device. The processor selects a search term from the plurality of search terms and determines an optionalization probability associated with the selected search term. The processor generates a search request as a function of the search query and determines whether to retain the selected search term with the search request as a function of the optionalization probability. The processor retrieves product records from the database as a function of the search request, and generates and displays a product search result including product information associated with the retrieved product records.

Systems and methods for evaluating search query terms for improving search results

A system for generating normalization candidates for a search query includes a database for storing session logs with each session log including query data and a processor in communication with the database and configured to execute computer-readable instructions causing the processor to analyze session log data to generate sets of query reformulations for a plurality of search queries, select one of the sets containing a normalization candidate that matches the search query, filter the selected set of reformulations, tie the candidates in the selected set to a category, compare the categories of the candidates, remove at least one reformulation from the selected set when the category of one candidate is uncommon with the category of the other candidate, and store the remaining candidates in the database. A method and one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for generating stemming pairs for a search query are also disclosed.
