Abstract

Current general purpose search engines are not able to address multi-domain queries, i.e., queries that span over several domains of interest. In this paper we address the general problem of natural language multi-domain search queries, seen as the first step of the information exploration process. We propose an approach that splits the queries into domain-specific subqueries, and suggests a vertical search engine API to be invoked. The user may be asked for the missing details needed to invoke the API and a first resultset can be retrieved (and then explored).
