BLINKS: Ranked Keyword Searches on Graphs

Summary: BLINKS: bi-level indexing for top-k keyword searches on graphs. Block-partitioned graphs with block-level summaries enable pruning and fast intra-block search; provable performance bounds and orders-of-magnitude speedups over prior approaches. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
