SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR QUERY TERM ANALYTICS
A query term analytics system receives a search query from a user device. The system has an engine enhanced with the ability to track query terms using in-memory counters and leveraging an inverted index of content stored in a content repository. The search query is run on the content and, contemporaneously the engine performs a query term analysis on the query terms to produce query term analytics. The query term analysis includes an impact analysis that determines an impact of removing a keyword or keyword criteria from the search query. A compressed bitset can be used to indicate whether a keyword is in the content. The engine can accumulate statistics using the in-memory counters while the search query is being processed. Using the statistics thus accumulated, a query term analytics report is generated and provided to the user device for presentation on the user device.
1 . A method, comprising:
receiving a search query containing query terms;
contemporaneously processing the search query on content stored in a content repository and performing an impact analysis on the search query, wherein performing the impact analysis comprises:
generating one or more modified search queries, each of the one or more modified search queries generated by deleting a query term from, adding a new query term to, or changing a keyword criterion in the search query; and
determining a number of hits in an inverted index for each of the one or more modified search queries; and
providing a query term analytics report indicating the number of hits for each of the one or more modified search queries.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the impact analysis further includes determining a number of hits responsive to a keyword or keyword criterion being excluded from or included in a modified search query.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
tracking a count of hits for each of the query terms in the search query using in-memory counters.
4 . The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:
updating a compressed bitset corresponding to the count.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
accumulating statistics on processing the search query using in-memory counters, wherein the query term analytics report is generated using the statistics thus accumulated.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
communicating the query term analytics report to a user device for presentation on the user device.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the content comprises a document or an electronic message.
8 . A system, comprising:
a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium and translatable by the processor for:
receiving a search query containing query terms;
contemporaneously processing the search query on content stored in a content repository and performing an impact analysis on the search query, wherein performing the impact analysis comprises:
generating one or more modified search queries, each of the one or more modified search queries generated by deleting a query term from, adding a new query term to, or changing a keyword criterion in the search query; and
determining a number of hits in an inverted index for each of the one or more modified search queries; and
providing a query term analytics report indicating the number of hits for each of the one or more modified search queries.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the impact analysis further includes determining a number of hits responsive to a keyword or keyword criterion being excluded from or included in a modified search query.
10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are further translatable by the processor for:
tracking a count of hits for each of the query terms in the search query using in-memory counters.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further translatable by the processor for:
updating a compressed bitset corresponding to the count.
12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are further translatable by the processor for:
accumulating statistics on processing the search query using in-memory counters, wherein the query term analytics report is generated using the statistics thus accumulated.
13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are further translatable by the processor for
communicating the query term analytics report to a user device for presentation on the user device.
14 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the content comprises a document or an electronic message.
15 . A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by a processor for:
receiving a search query containing query terms;
contemporaneously processing the search query on content stored in a content repository and performing an impact analysis on the search query, wherein performing the impact analysis comprises:
generating one or more modified search queries, each of the one or more modified search queries generated by deleting a query term from, adding a new query term to, or changing a keyword criterion in the search query; and
determining a number of hits in an inverted index for each of the one or more modified search queries; and
providing a query term analytics report indicating the number of hits for each of the one or more modified search queries.
16 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the impact analysis further includes determining a number of hits responsive to a keyword or keyword criterion being excluded from or included in a modified search query.
17 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the instructions are further translatable by the processor for:
tracking a count of hits for each of the query terms in the search query using in-memory counters.
18 . The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the instructions are further translatable by the processor for:
updating a compressed bitset corresponding to the count.
19 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the instructions are further translatable by the processor for:
accumulating statistics on processing the search query using in-memory counters, wherein the query term analytics report is generated using the statistics thus accumulated.
20 . The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the instructions are further translatable by the processor for:
communicating the query term analytics report to a user device for presentation on the user device.
