Abstract
One or more systems and/or techniques are provided for constructing a query classification index that can be used to classify a query into relevant categories. Where documents in an index are classified into one or more category predictions for a category hierarchy, classification metadata is generated for categories to which a document in the index has been classified. Further, the classification metadata is associated to the corresponding documents in the index. Additionally, a query of the index can be classified using the metadata associated to the documents in the index, and query results can be provided that are classified by the one or more categories identified by the classification of the query.
