GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES BASED CONTENT SEARCH
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- analyzing a plurality of contents having non-geographic coordinate content items, including determining whether the non-geographic coordinate content items are associated with a plurality of locations on Earth'"'"'s surface, identifiable by a plurality of geographic coordinates of a geographic coordinate system;
for contents, among the plurality of contents, with non-geographic coordinate content items recognized to be associated a plurality of locations, generating and storing indices that index the geographic coordinates of the locations to the contents with associated non-geographic coordinate content items;
receiving a search query; and
generating and returning an answer set to the search query, the answer set including locators to potentially relevant contents, and generating including selecting the locators to potentially relevant contents based at least in part on the stored indices.

Abstract
Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with geographic coordinates based content search are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a search service may be configured to analyze a plurality of contents having non-geographic coordinate content items. The analysis may include determination of whether the non-geographic coordinate content items are associated with a plurality of locations on Earth'"'"'s surface. The locations may be identifiable by a plurality of geographic coordinates of a geographic coordinate system. For contents with non-geographic coordinate content items recognized to be associated a plurality of locations, the search service may generate and store indices that index the geographic coordinates of the locations to the contents with associated non-geographic coordinate content items. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

18. At least one non-transitory storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions configured to cause a computing device, in response to execution of the instructions by the computing device, to:
-
receive a search query; and generate and return an answer set to the search query, having a plurality of locators of potential relevant contents, based at least in part on a plurality of geographic coordinates based indices indexing a plurality of geographic coordinates of a geographic coordinate system to contents associated with locations of Earth'"'"'s surface identified by the geographic coordinates, wherein the geographic coordinates based indices are generated and stored based on association of non-geographic coordinate content items of the contents with the geographic coordinates. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
