Abstract:
In disclosed techniques, a computing system causes presentation of a user interface having an input field operable to receive, from a user, a search query for a database. The computing system may classify the search query by: determining whether the search query includes terms that are within a specified vocabulary indicative of a natural language query and determining whether the search query includes terms that identify an object defined in a schema of the database. In response to classifying the search query as a natural language query, the computing system returns query results determined by identifying values in the database corresponding to the object defined in the schema. In response to classifying the search query as a keyword query, the computing system returns query results determined by comparing terms of the search query to values within records in the database.
