Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying entities using search results. One of the methods includes the actions of determining that a first search query includes a respective text reference to each of one or more predetermined attributes, wherein each attribute is associated with a first entity type; for each of a plurality of entities of the first entity type, generating a combined search query that includes the first search query and a name of the entity; obtaining search results for each of the plurality of entities using the combined search query for each respective entity; and using the obtained search results to generate combined search results to include in a response to the first search query.
