Abstract

A computer-implemented method for optimizing search query results is disclosed. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a first natural language query, selecting a plurality of search query patterns based on the first natural language query, assigning a weight to each search query pattern in the plurality of search query patterns, generating one or more weighted keyword queries from each search query pattern based on the weight assigned to each search query pattern and one or more keywords from the first natural language query, evaluating a relevancy of one or more search results returned by each of the one or more weighted keyword queries for the first natural language query, and iteratively altering the weight assigned to a search query pattern until an optimal number of relevant search results are returned from the search query pattern for the first natural language query.
