Rearranging search operators
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- at least one processor; and
a non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;
receiving an initial search query from a user, the initial search query comprising at least one search operator and at least one search term;
generating a rewritten search query based on the initial search query, the generating the rewritten search query comprising rewriting at least one optional search operator in the initial search query using at least one required search operator and at least one exclusion search operator in response to a determination that the initial search query comprises the at least one optional search operator and does not comprise any required search operators;
generating search results for the rewritten search query; and
causing the search results to be presented to the user.

Abstract
A system and method for rearranging search operators of a search query are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a first initial search query is received from a first user. The first initial search query comprises at least one search operator and at least one search term. A first rewritten search query is generated based on the first initial search query. The generating of the first rewritten search query comprises rewriting at least one optional search operator in the first initial search query using at least one required search operator and at least one exclusion search operator in response to a determination that the first initial search query comprises the at least one optional search operator and does not comprise any required search operators. A first set of search results is generated for the first rewritten search query and caused to be presented to the first user.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving a first initial search query from a first user, the first initial search query comprising at least one search operator and at least one search term; generating, by at least one processor, a first rewritten search query based on the first initial search query, the generating the first rewritten search query comprising rewriting at least one optional search operator in the first initial search query using at least one required search operator and at least one exclusion search operator in response to a determination that the first initial search query comprises the at least one optional search operator and does not comprise any required search operators; generating a first set of search results for the first rewritten search query; and causing the first set of search results to be presented to the first user. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
receiving a first initial search query from a first user, the first initial search query comprising at least one search operator and at least one search term; generating a first rewritten search query based on the first initial search query, the generating the first rewritten search query comprising rewriting at least one optional search operator in the first initial search query using at least one required search operator and at least one exclusion search operator in response to a determination that the first initial search query comprises the at least one optional search operator and does not comprise any required search operators; generating a first set of search results for the first rewritten search query; and causing the first set of search results to be presented to the first user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
