ABSTRACT:
A system, method and computer program product for processing a search query is presented. The method according to one embodiment includes receiving a search query containing one or more terms; processing the query to add one or more bi-words as terms to the query; searching a search index having product identifiers and individual logical parts of the product identifiers in association with particular documents or portions thereof indexed into different fields in context and content parts of the index; generating a context score based on at least some of the terms matching the product identifiers and the individual logical parts in the context part of the index; generating a content score based on at least some of the terms matching content terms in the content part of the index; and generating a document score by combining the context score and content score.
