Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media related to generating a combined search query based on search parameters of a current search query of a user and search parameters of one or more previously submitted search quer(ies) of the user that are determined to be of the same line of inquiry as the current search query. Two or more search queries may be determined to share a line of inquiry when it is determined that they are within a threshold level of semantic similarity to one another. Once a shared line of inquiry has been identified and a combined search query generated, users may interact with the search parameters and/or the search results to update the search parameters of the combined search query.
