Efficient IR-Style Keyword Search over Relational Databases
Summary: Adapts IR-style relevance ranking to free-form keyword queries over relational data, returning top-k results across joins. Leverages single-column text search, supports AND/OR, and focuses on top-k optimization rather than exhaustive match enumeration. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
