Abstract

A search facility for classifying search queries prior to executing the search queries. The facility can receive a search query from a user and perform one or more of a set of evaluations of the search query to determine likely query classifications. The facility can also decompose the search query into constituent parts and perform one or more of a set of evaluations of the individual constituent parts to determine likely classifications. The facility can then arbitrate amongst the likely query classifications and rank the arbitrated likely query classifications. The ranked arbitrated query classifications can be mapped to data sources and services. The facility can retrieve content from the mapped data sources and services using the user's original search query. Each of the ranked arbitrated query classifications can correspond to a display region that can display content from the mapped one or more data sources and services to the user.
