Abstract
A system and method for organizing search categories for use in an on-line search query engine based on a geographic description is described. The city list is compiled into entries in a database organized by an official name for each city in the city list. A virtual city list is compiled into entries in a database organized by an unofficial name for each virtual city in a virtual city list. A friendly name list is compiled into entries in a database organized by a pseudonym for each friendly name in a friendly name list. A search query engine includes a user interface receiving a location descriptor presenting the search categories organized by an actual location. The search query engine also includes a resolution module resolving the actual location from the location descriptor using at least one of the official name in the city list, the unofficial name in the virtual city list, and the friendly name in the friendly name list.
