    Abstract: The memory of a user device stores map data for rendering a digital map of a geographic area. The memory also stores searchable geospatial data organized into tiles. Each tile corresponds to a respective portion of the geographic area of a substantially same size. The geospatial data includes, for each of the tiles, descriptions of one or more geographic entities and a location of the one or more geographic entities, within the corresponding portion of the geographic area. The processing hardware of the user device is configured to (i) display the digital map via the user interface, (ii) receive the map data and the searchable geospatial data from the map data server, in the online mode, (iii) receive a geographic query pertaining to the geographic area, and (iv) execute the geographic query using the geospatial data stored in the computer-readable memory.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying geographic features. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a query. Geographic features are identified, each geographic feature being associated with one or more names, each geographic feature being associated with at least one name that includes the query. A feature-query score is computed for each geographic feature, including: for each name of the geographic feature that includes the query, identifying a computed feature-name score, wherein the feature-name score is computed based on a count of a number of occurrences of the name in a query log, wherein each occurrence is attributed to the feature; and computing the feature-query score based on the identified feature-name scores. The geographic features are ranked according to the feature-query scores.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method may include receiving, from a device, a search query that includes search terms, parsing the search terms into combinations of search terms, where each of the combinations includes one or more adjacent search terms, determining whether a hierarchical relationship exists for the one or more adjacent search terms of each of the combinations, generating one or more interpretations for each of the combinations based on whether the hierarchical relationship exists for the one or more adjacent search terms, performing a search based on at least one of the one or more interpretations to identify search results, generating a search result document containing the search results, and providing, to the device, the search result document.
