要旨:
We consider the following full-text search autocompletion feature. Imagine a
user of a search engine typing a query. Then with every letter being typed, we
would like an instant display of completions of the last query word which would
lead to good hits. At the same time, the best hits for any of these completions
should be displayed. Known indexing data structures that apply to this problem
either incur large processing times for a substantial class of queries, or they
use a lot of space. We present a new indexing data structure that uses no more
space than a state-of-the-art compressed inverted index, but with 10 times
faster query processing times. Even on the large TREC Terabyte collection,
which comprises over 25 million documents, we achieve, on a single machine and
with the index on disk, average response times of one tenth of a second. We
have built a full-fledged, interactive search engine that realizes the proposed
autocompletion feature combined with support for proximity search,
semi-structured (XML) text, subword and phrase completion, and semantic tags.
