1. A computer-implemented method for determining product lines from product searches, comprising:

  • receiving, using one or more computing devices, a product query comprising search terms;

    classifying, using the one or more computing devices, the product query to identify a product category;

    identifying, using the one or more computing devices, a brand corresponding to the product query, the brand being selected from a list of known brands for the product category and being based on one or more of the search terms;

    identifying, using the one or more computing devices, unknown product line terms within the product query;

    computing, using the one or more computing devices, a metric indicating how well the unknown product line terms correspond to an actual product line within the brand;

    comparing, using the one or more computing devices, the metric to a specified threshold;

    designating, using the one or more computing devices, the unknown product line terms as a new product line for the brand in response to the metric favorably comparing to the specified threshold;

    performing, using the one or more computing devices, a product search based on the product query; and

    returning, using the one or more computing devices, search results according to the product search.
