A user provides a query that includes at least two of a subject, a predicate, and an object. A computer system identifies synonyms of one or more of the subject, predicate, and object, and forms new queries from the identified synonyms. The system searches a dataset using the new queries, and possibly also using the user-provided query, to produce search results. The system may process the search results, such as by filtering and/or sorting them. The system provides output representing the search results to the user. The user may use the search result output to identify answers that are analogous to answers to the query originally provided by the user.
