ABSTRACT:
After receiving a search keyword provided by a user, a computer selects an archetype for the search keyword. The computer identifies one or more search results in accordance with the archetype and returns at least one of the search results to the user. After selecting the archetype, the computer identifies at least one query operator for the selected archetype, constructs a search query using the query operator, and executes the search query against one or more data sources. Sometimes, the computer solicits user instructions with respect to the archetype and then generates feedback to the user instructions. This process may repeat multiple loops until the user submits a search query execution request, which suggests that the user is satisfied with the customized search query.
