The embodiment generates a combined set of search results from search results of the text-based query and search results of the ontology-based query. The embodiment generates final relevance scores for the combined set of search results by adjusting at least a portion of preliminary relevance scores of the combined set of search results. The embodiment generates a query response that includes the combined set of search results ranked according to the final relevance scores.
