Abstract

A system and method of query expansion are disclosed.

The feature data comprises information for a plurality of features. A determination is made as to whether the query expansion candidate qualifies as an expansion of the query expansion source based on an analysis of the information for the plurality of features. The query expansion candidate is assigned as an expanded query of the query expansion source in a query expansion dictionary in response to a determination that the query expansion candidate qualifies as an expansion of the query expansion source.
