Abstract
A method and a system to configure a query language using an operator dictionary are provided. Dictionary information that corresponds to a first user is generated. The dictionary information includes a first list of compatible query operators and a description of compatible data types that correspond to each operator in the first list of query operators. A search query to search for document information in a database is received from a first user. The database includes an inverted index. Terms of the search query from the first user are determined to be in accordance with the dictionary information that corresponds to the first user. The search query is applied to the inverted index in the database to identify the document information. The document information is sent to the first user.
