Products :: Related Searches
Sematext's Related Searches products offers the familiar
"People Who Searched For This, Also Searched For..."
functionality. When a person runs a query X, the Related
Searches service offers several other queries other people who
run the same X query have performed. You might have seen this
functionality on Google's search results pages, and possibly in
commercial enterprise search vendors' offerings.

Integration
Integration with any web application is seamless and consists of
two parts:
- Search Beacon
- Related Searches Service
The Search Beacon is a simple servlet that collects query
information such as query strings, session IDs, user IDs, etc.
It is integrated into pages as a pixel-sized image completely
invisible to users.
The Related Searches Service is a simple servlet with a REST
API. Given the query string, the service returns a list of
related queries, ordered by the strength of their relatedness to
the input query. To display related searches in the search
results pages, the web appplication that executes user queries
typically communicates with this service, gets related searches,
and passes them to the user interface layer for display.
