Keyword Search with Path-Based Filtering over XML Streams

Recently, a great deal of attention has been focusing on processing keyword search over static and XML streams. Keyword search is becoming more popular for its simplicity and its user-friendliness in querying XML databases. However, it is hard to express real search intention with just keyword search. There are many cases where the combination of path-based query and keyword search can deal with such issue. To address this problem, we propose a method to integrate XPath with keyword search so that users can express their search demands in more specific ways.
