Method and system for optimization of faceted search

Abstract:

In general, embodiments of the technology relate to a method for servicing requests. The method includes receiving a search request from a client, determining a main path and a conditional subpath associated with the search request, determining a subpath index associated with the main path and the conditional subpath, obtaining, using at least a portion of the search request, a set of subpath index entries from the subpath index, wherein each of the subpath index entries specifies a facet subpath and content associated with the facet subpath, generating a final result using at least a portion of the contents in the set of subpath index entries, and providing the final result to the client.
