Abstract

Methods and computer storage media are provided for generating entries for documents in a forward index. A document and its document identification are received, in addition to static features that are query-independent. The document is parsed into tokens to form a token stream corresponding to the document. Relevant data used to calculate rankings of document is identified and a position of the data is determined. The entry is then generated from the document identification, the token stream of the document, the static features, and the positional information of the relevant data. The entry is stored in the forward index.
