Abstract
The invention provides a system to categorize user queries including an identification component that receives an original user query and identifies a what-component and a where-component using the original user query, a first classification component that analyzes and classifies the what-component of the original user query, a second classification component that analyzes and processes the where-component of the original user query, and a transmission component that sends the results of the first and second classification components and a processed user query to a backend search engine.
