Current Web search can’t fully satisfy users’ requirements. This is also due to the fact that it is term based rather than concept based or even object oriented. It is studied here, how to extend a search function semantically in order to improve its functionality and performance. It’s proved that semantics oriented Web searching is a good solution to enable concept/object oriented Web search, faceting search, as well as associate and relationship search. The knowledge supporting for semantics extension is proposed and a corresponding ontology solution is designed. At last, a case study named SmartSearch, launched at ECNU-ICA since 2011, is presented. The case study shows that semantics oriented Web search is powerful and that the search results will be efficiently improved with a semantic extension.
