Abstract
Systems and methods for category-based search are described. In one described system, a computer program identifies an article having an attribute, determines a category associated with the article based at least in part on the article attribute, and stores in a data store a data record comprising a category-article pair identifier associated with the category and the article. A search query is received and executed on a data store comprising the association data record. In response, the association data record is received from the data store. Search results may be constructed and displayed using the association data record.
