Query simplification
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for query simplification are provided. A search engine executed by a server receives a query. In response, the search engine determines whether the query is a long or hard query. For long or hard queries, the search engine drops one or more terms based on search engine logs. The search engine may utilize statistical models like machine translation, condition random fields, or max entropy, to identify the terms that should be dropped. The search engine obtains search results for the simplified query and transmits the results to a user that provided the query.
