Abstract
The present application discloses a method for segmenting a search query. A server receives a search query including an ordered sequence of Chinese characters. For each Chinese character, one or more predetermined search terms are identified and then combined to form concatenated search queries, each concatenated search query including at least one segmentation identifier that separates the Chinese characters of the ordered sequence of Chinese characters. A specific concatenated search query is identified based on search probabilities of the concatenated search queries. The specific concatenated search query is further segmented into two or more search terms according to one or more locations of the at least one segmentation identifier in the specific concatenated search query. Finally, at least one new search term is identified from the two or more search terms such that one of the ordered sequence of Chinese characters occupies the first position of the new search term.
