Question Query Detection Strategies?

[entdeveloper <ca...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Has anyone tackled the challenge of question detection in search using solr?
A lot of my users don't do simple keyword searches, but rather ask questions
as their queries. For example:

what are the business hours?
who is the ceo?
what's the weather?
more information about joe

Are there any strategies beyond adding 'who', 'what', 'when', 'where' to
stopwords? If anyone has a link to a good writeup about handling this type
of searching, that'd be awesome!

If you have meta-data available on what all is actually searched on your
site, you can use mahout to get keywords, and then define your solr
accordingly.

THis might help:

Alternatively, you can parse your query (either at client end or server end)
to detect keywords. But this may require some research, and may depend upon
your searchable data.
