ASSISTED CREATION OF A SEARCH QUERY
System and techniques for autonomously adaptive performance monitoring are described herein. A text input field may be presented on a graphical user interface. A flow-selector may be presented in contact with the text input field in response to receiving user input at the text input field. Here, the flow-selector includes a set of flow choices selected based on the user input. A user selection of a flow choice may be received. Next-steps flow elements may be presented in response to the user selection. User query choices may be collected from the next-steps flow elements to populate a query template corresponding to the flow choice. The query template is executed to produce search results.
1 . A system for assisted creation of a searching query, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
present a text input field on a graphical user interface (GUI);
present a flow-selector in proximity to the text input field in response to receiving user input at the text input field, the flow-selector including a set of flow choices selected based on the user input;
receive a user selection of a flow choice;
present next-steps flow elements in response to the user selection;
collect user query choices from the next-steps flow elements to populate a query template corresponding to the flow choice; and
execute the query template to produce search results.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the flow choices include identification of a flow and identification of an example result.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein executing the query template includes:
performing a preliminary search based on an element of the query template to produce intermediate results;
extracting an entity from a result in the intermediate results that is not found in the query template; and
adding the entity to the query template.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein extracting entity includes:
ranking entities by a closeness metric from an entity in the query template; and
selecting the entity based on the closeness metric.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein collecting user query choices from the next-steps flow elements includes:
replacing the user input at the text field with a graphical element in the text field; and
moving a cursor after the graphical element in the text field.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the flow choice is at least one of a position, a person, or a posting.
7 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the user selection includes a selection of a second result presented in the flow choice.
8 . A method for assisted creation of a searching query, the method comprising:
presenting a text input field on a graphical user interface (GUI);
presenting a flow-selector in proximity to the text input field in response to receiving user input at the text input field, the flow-selector including a set of flow choices selected based on the user input;
receiving a user selection of a flow choice;
presenting next-steps flow elements in response to the user selection;
collecting user query choices from the next-steps flow elements to populate a query template corresponding to the flow choice; and
executing the query template to produce search results.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the flow choices include identification of a flow and identification of an example result.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein executing the query template includes:
performing a preliminary search based on an element of the query template to produce intermediate results;
extracting an entity from a result in the intermediate results that is not found in the query template; and
adding the entity to the query template.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein extracting the entity includes:
ranking entities by a closeness metric from an entity in the query template; and
selecting the entity based on the closeness metric.
12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein collecting user query choices from the next-steps flow elements includes:
replacing the user input at the text field with a graphical element in the text field; and
moving a cursor after the graphical element in the text field.
13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the flow choice is at least one of a position, a person, or a posting.
14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the user selection includes a selection of a second result presented in the flow choice.
15 . A machine readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
presenting a text input field on a graphical user interface (GUI);
presenting a flow-selector in proximity to the text input field in response to receiving user input at the text input field, the flow-selector including a set of flow choices selected based on the user input;
receiving a user selection of a flow choice;
presenting next-steps flow elements in response to the user selection;
collecting user query choices from the next-steps flow elements to populate a query template corresponding to the flow choice; and
executing the query template to produce search results.
16 . The machine readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the flow choices include identification of a flow and identification of an example result.
17 . The machine readable medium of claim 15 , wherein executing the query template includes:
performing a preliminary search based on an element of the query template to produce intermediate results;
extracting an entity from a result in the intermediate results that is not found in the query template; and
adding the entity to the query template.
18 . The machine readable medium of claim 17 , wherein extracting the entity includes:
ranking entities by a closeness metric from an entity in the query template; and
selecting the entity based on the closeness metric.
19 . The machine readable medium of claim 15 , wherein collecting user query choices from the next-steps flow elements includes:
replacing the user input at the text field with a graphical element in the text field; and
moving a cursor after the graphical element in the text field.
20 . The machine readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the flow choice is at least one of a position, a person, or a posting.
21 . The machine readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the user selection includes a selection of a second result presented in the flow choice.
