Abstract

A search authoring tool for mapping queries to assets for use in an information retrieval system has a query-to-asset mappings database, a search authoring engine, and a search evaluation engine. The query-to-asset mappings database is built from search author input and user mappings. The search authoring engine is adapted to receive operator input and to generate one or more new query-to-asset mappings based on the received operator input. The search evaluation engine is adapted to compare the one or more new query-to-asset mappings to the existing mappings to determine if the one or more new query-to-asset mappings will cause performance degradation of the information retrieval system.
