Abstract:
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with search query task management for search system tuning are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving interaction data that describes an interaction with a search system. The search system includes a search engine configured to process search queries to return results that include a ranked set of documents that are relevant to respective search queries. A search query to be used as a basis for search engine tuning is identified based on at least the interaction data. Request data describing a tuning request for the identified search query is transmitted to a search query tuning system. In response to the tuning request for the identified search query, the search query tuning system adds the identified search query to a set of search queries that are candidates for use as a basis for search engine tuning.
