Abstract

In embodiments of identifying search matches and altered search results, a query is received from a device application, and a data search is initiated based on the query that specifies search terms. A search result set of search result items is then received, and properties of a search result item are correlated with the search result item, where the properties indicate why the search result item was returned as part of the search result set. Search terms of the query are also associated with respective properties of the search result item to indicate a correspondence of a search term with a property of the search result item. The search result set of the search result items can then be returned to the device application along with the properties of each search result item and the associated search terms of the query.
