Abstract
Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing devices facilitate providing a comparison experience to a user in response to a search query. Upon receiving a search query from the user, entities are extracted from the query. The entities are associated with entity classes. The entities, entity classes, previous user behavior, and other information are used to infer whether the user likely is engaging in a comparison task. If the inference indicates that the user likely is engaging in a comparison task, a comparison experience is generated and access to the comparison experience is provided to the user.
