Abstract

A search query for a collection of electronic documents is parsed to identify one or more terms and such identified terms are associated with one or more languages (i.e., spoken languages such as English, German, Spanish, etc.). A terms inverted index and a language inverted index are accessed to identify documents responsive to the query. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
