Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to generating a search graph or search index to aid in receiving a search query and identifying results of a dataset based on the search query. For example, systems disclosed herein may generate a navigable search graph including vertices representative of objects or points within a dataset that enables a computing device having access to the search graph to navigate vertices of the graph along an identified path until arriving at a point within the search graph that corresponds to a value associated with the search query. Upon identifying a location within the graph corresponding to the search query, systems disclosed herein may identify a neighborhood of points (e.g., vertices) corresponding to items from the dataset and output a set of results for the search query representative of determined results for the search query.
