Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for click or skip evaluation of synonyms. In one aspect, a method includes accessing query log data that identifies, for an initial search query, a revised search query that includes one or more synonyms, and search results provided to a user. An indication that the user has selected a particular search result is received. A determination is made that the particular search result includes a particular synonym for a query term that occurs in the revised search query, and not (i) the query term or (ii) any other synonym for the query term that occurs in the revised search query. A crucial click count is assigned to a synonym rule that corresponds to the particular synonym.
