Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for refining structured data indexes. Aspects of the invention include associating structured data, such as, for example, tables, with additional content. Additional content can include content outside the <table> and </table> tags of a web table. Indexes for structured data (e.g., table indexes) can be refined based on the additional content to improve the relevance of providing parts of the structured data (e.g., parts of the table) in search results.
