Abstract
A geo-search server receives a query from a user device operated by a user and determines candidate locations that may be associated with the query based on the text of the query, using a geodata index. The geodata index contains information about location names and the geo-locations associated with those names. A relevance score is generated for each candidate location and a target location is selected based on the relevance scores. A query classification is determined based on the query, using a domain index, and query response candidates are selected from a content index based on the target location and the query classification. A relevance score is generated for each of the query response candidates, and a query response is selected based on the relevance scores. The query response is sent to the user device.
