Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for collecting query term substitution data based on one or more identified concepts. According to one implementation, a method includes receiving a query that includes at least three sequential query terms; determining that the sequential query terms represent a concept; and in response to determining that the sequential query terms represent a concept, collecting query term substitution data for one or more query terms that occur in queries that include the concept.
