Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs are encoded on a computer storage medium, for fake skip evaluation of synonyms. In one aspect, a method includes determining, using query log data, that a particular search result selected by a user includes a query term included in an initial search query and a particular synonym that was generated for the query term using a particular synonym rule. The particular search result is selected by the user from among search results that were generated using an initial search query and one or more revised search queries that include the particular synonym. The method further includes determining, using the query log data, that a first search result is ranked above the particular search result, and includes the particular synonym for the query term. In response to these determinations, a fake skip count is incremented for the synonym rule that corresponds to the particular synonym.
