Abstract
When a user-submitted query is received, a set of candidate queries is identified. For each of the candidate queries, features are extracted that, for each candidate query, reflect a measure of effectiveness of the candidate query. The candidate queries are rank ordered based on the measure of effectiveness, and one or more of the top-ranked candidate queries are presented as suggested alternatives to the user-submitted query.
