Description
Summary:Spatial keyword search has been playing an indispensable role in personalized route recommendation and geo-textual information retrieval. In this light, we conduct a survey on existing studies of spatial keyword search. We categorize existing works of spatial keyword search based on the types of their input data, output results, and methodologies. For each category, we summarize their common features in terms of input data, output result, indexing scheme, and search algorithms. In addition, we provide detailed description regarding each study of spatial keyword search. This survey summarizes the findings of existing spatial keyword search studies, thus uncovering new insights that may guide software engineers as well as further research.
