Excited to share that our paper "Analytical Search" has been accepted at #SIGIR2026! 🎉 Traditional search paradigms only emphasize naive information finding and struggle with complex analytical information need (like trend analysis and causal impact assessment). Analytical Search reframes search as an evidence-governed, process-oriented analytical workflow rather than just finding an isolated puzzle piece. Our unified framework integrates: 1. Query Understanding: Extracting implicit intent and decomposing tasks. 2. Evidence Retrieval: A recall-oriented approach across heterogeneous sources. 3. Reasoning-Aware Fusion: Multi-step inference and quantitative/logical aggregation. 4. Adaptive Verification: Generating verifiable, traceable conclusions. It’s time to shift from simple document ranking to end-to-end problem solving! 📄 Read the full pre-print here: arxiv.org/abs/2602.11581 #SIGIR2026 #InformationRetrieval #SearchEngines #LLMs #DataAnalytics #AI
