Abstract

A query pipeline for an enterprise search system is configurable by a user of the system. A user may create rules for custom query transformation and parallel query generation, federation of queries, mixing of results and application of display layouts to the received search results. A user interface (UI) assists a user in configuring the search pipeline. For example, a user may enter condition action rules for queries that affect how a query is transformed, how parallel queries are generated, how queries are federated, how search results are ranked and displayed, how rules are ordered and the like.
