Extrapolative Search Techniques

Techniques for extrapolative searches are described herein. In one or more implementations, a searches are conducted using an extrapolative and additive mechanism that expands a specific query into one or more generalized queries. To do so, keywords contained in an input search query are extracted to use as a basis for a search related to content. The extracted keywords are expanded by categorization of name entities recognized from the keywords into corresponding generalized terms. Query strings to use for the search are built using combinations of keywords that are extracted from the text and corresponding generalized terms obtained by expanding the keywords. A search is conducted using the expanded queries and images results returned by the search are exposed as suggested images to represent the content.
