Search Protocol

A Search Protocol is a systematic discovery protocol that can retrieve information resources through search protocol query mechanisms.

• AKA: Search Strategy, Discovery Protocol, Retrieval Protocol, Query Protocol.
• Context:
  • It can typically specify Query Formats through search protocol syntax rules.
  • It can typically define Search Endpoints through search protocol access points.
  • It can typically organize Result Rankings through search protocol relevance algorithms.
  • It can typically handle Query Processing through search protocol parsing mechanisms.
  • It can typically manage Result Filtering through search protocol selection criteria.
  • ...
  • It can often optimize Search Performance through search protocol indexing strategy.
  • It can often support Faceted Searches through search protocol category filters.
  • It can often enable Iterative Refinement through search protocol feedback loops.
  • It can often provide Result Caching through search protocol performance optimization.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Search Protocol to being a Complex Search Protocol, depending on its search protocol feature sophistication.
  • It can range from being a Exact Match Search Protocol to being a Fuzzy Search Protocol, depending on its search protocol matching tolerance.
  • It can range from being a Single-Source Search Protocol to being a Federated Search Protocol, depending on its search protocol data scope.
  • It can range from being a Manual Search Protocol to being an Automated Search Protocol, depending on its search protocol execution method.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Database Systems for search protocol data access.
  • It can connect to Index Systems for search protocol performance optimization.
  • It can interface with Ranking Algorithms for search protocol result ordering.
  • It can communicate with Cache Systems for search protocol response acceleration.
  • It can synchronize with Analytics Systems for search protocol usage tracking.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Web Search Protocols, such as:
    • HTTP Search Protocol for web resource discovery.
    • REST API Search Protocol for service queries.
    • GraphQL Search Protocol for structured data queries.
  • Database Search Protocols, such as:
    • SQL Query Protocol for relational database search.
    • NoSQL Search Protocol for document store queries.
    • SPARQL Protocol for RDF triple store queries.
  • Knowledge Base Search Protocols, such as:
    • GM-RKB Search Protocol for wiki concept discovery.
    • MediaWiki Search Protocol for wiki page retrieval.
    • Elasticsearch Protocol for full-text search.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Random Access, which lacks search protocol systematic approach.
  • Direct Reference, which lacks search protocol discovery mechanism.
  • Manual Browsing, which lacks search protocol automated capability.
