Abstract
An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to receive and parse a search request related to a given event to identify confident terms, and to determine a first subset of the confident terms which indirectly reference the given event and a second subset of the confident terms which are not in the first subset. The processing device is also configured to identify, for a given confident term in the second subset, terms having at least a threshold level of semantic similarity with the given confident term, and to construct a primary search query comprising the first and second subsets of the confident terms and additional search queries comprising the first subset of the confident terms and the identified one or more terms having at least the threshold level of semantic similarity with the given confident term. The processing device is further configured to execute the primary and additional search queries.
