Abstract
A method for generating search suggestions of related entities based on co-occurrence and/or fuzzy score matching is disclosed. The method may be employed in a search system that may include a client/server type architecture. The search system may include a user interface for a search engine in communication with one or more server devices over a network connection. The server device may include an entity extraction module, a fuzzy-score matching module, and an entity co-occurrence knowledge base database. In one embodiment, the search system may process a partial search query from a user and present search suggestions to complete the partial query. In another embodiment, the complete search query may be used as a new search query. The search system may process the new search query, run an entity extraction, find related entities from the entity co-occurrence knowledge base, and present said related entities in a drop down list.
