Evaluating XML Full Text Search

Abstract:

Techniques are described to improve query evaluation in computer systems. In an embodiment, a system receives a full text query for evaluation against a collection of hierarchically marked data object sets. The query specifies token(s) and context(s) which indicate hierarchical location(s) to match within a queried hierarchical data structure. To evaluate the query, the system determines a) data object set(s) that contain the query specified token(s) using token list(s), and/or b) data object set(s) that contain the query specified context(s) using label list(s).
