Method, system, and computer program product for indexing and searching entity-relationship data are provided. The method includes: defining a logical document model for entity-relationship data including: representing an entity as a document containing the entity's searchable content and metadata; dually representing the entity as a document and as a category; and representing each relationship instance for the entity as a category set that contains categories of all participating entities in the relationship. The method also includes: translating entity-relationship data into the logical document model; and indexing the entity-relationship data of the populated logical document model as an inverted index. The method may include searching indexed entity-relationship data using a faceted search, wherein the categories are all categories required for supporting faceted navigation.

A set of programs is disclosed comprising a web display interface program (WIP), a Display Configuration Program (DCP) and a Sequence Logging Program (SLP). Responsive to user actions, the set of programs provide instructions to a server connected to storage containing a facet tree database and a rules database. The WIP comprises a user interface and a set of servlets that read the facet element to be displayed from the facet tree database, and based upon the user characteristics, acquire the appropriate display rules for the user from the rules database. The DCP allows an administrator to select or configure rules that will establish views for different end users that are tailored to those particular end users. The SLP allows end users to navigate through a set of facets using a standard faceted search, or using a previously constructed sequence of facets, and logs the user choices for later use.

A method, computer program product, and system for integrating faceted and predefined multi-dimensional search interfaces are provided. The method, computer program product, and system provide for displaying a first set of results from a search request in a faceted search interface and a second set of results from the search request in a predefined multi-dimensional search interface, and responsive to a user action in the predefined multi-dimensional search interface affecting a scope of the search request, synchronizing the faceted search interface with changes in the predefined multi-dimensional search interface without requiring a separate user action in the faceted search interface.

Aspects retrieve, organize and display different classifications of sets of search results in different, respective tabbed sheets that are nested on top of one another in a web-based interface dashboard. A text string search query is classified into constituent primary search terms that are likely to return satisfactory search results as indicated by retrieved search history data as a function of search resources and language classification rules associated with the user identity indicia. Secondary search terms related to the primary search terms and including synonyms and antonyms are determined as substitutes for the primary search terms in response to search history indicating follow-up searches immediately subsequent to searches of the primary search terms at less than a specified threshold of frequency. The set of peripheral knowledge article results is generated by searching knowledge article resources for background information on the primary search terms or the secondary search terms.

Method, system, and computer program product for faceted search with relationships between categories are provided. The method includes: having a document set of multiple documents, each document having associated categories to which it belongs; grouping multiple categories associated with a document into a category set based on a relationship between the multiple categories; associating the category set with the document; and indexing the category set for retrieval of documents from categories sharing a category set. Wherein indexing the category set includes: having an index entry of a textual representations of a category, wherein the index entry includes a single occurrence for each document to which the category is attached; adding a payload to a document occurrence of a serialization of an identifier of the category sets to which the category belongs associated with the document. Indexing the category set further includes: adding an index entry for category set data, wherein the index entry includes a single occurrence for each document, wherein a document occurrence includes a payload of a serialization of an identifier of category sets associated with the document, and an identifier of the categories belonging to the category sets.

A system and method for generating content rules for a Web application server. A system is provided that includes a content manager for selecting a content item; and a segment manager for defining a data segment to associate with a selected content item, wherein the segment manager includes a multifaceted search interface for defining the data segment.

A method, system and computer program product for dynamically selecting and ordering facets and / or facet values in a user interface. A user's “preference” concerning the selection and ordering of facets and / or facet values that the user desires to be displayed in the user interface is determined. Such user's preference may be determined based on monitoring the actions of the user (e.g., online activity) as well as possibly other types of information, such as the user's input and context of the user's faceted search. Upon determining the user's preference, facets and / or facet values are selected and ordered based on the user's preference and consequently displayed in the user's user interface. In this manner, the user is provided a more relevant and insightful perspective on the data set as the user sees the “best” information more quickly while performing less work to see and apply the facets and / or facet values.
