A method includes associating an identifier with a plurality of business listings, receiving a first query, generating a second query based at least in part on the first query, the second query including at least one word included in the first query, and selecting a subset of business listings based at least in part on the second query.

In such methods, the ranked order is based at least in part on respective levels of relatedness between the second query and listings included in the subset of business listings.
