Systems, methods, and computer media for identifying related strings for search query rewriting are provided. Session data for a user search query session in an accessed click log data is identified. It is determined whether a first additional search query in the session data is related to a first user search query based on at least one of: dwell time; a number of search result links clicked on; and similarity between web page titles or uniform resource locators (URLs). When related, the first additional search query is incorporated into a list of strings related to the first user search query. One or more supplemental strings that are related to the first user search query are also identified. The identified supplemental strings are also included in the list of strings related to the first user search query.
