For Beginners: Query processors improve search results by refining your question.

Think of it like asking a librarian for help:

You say: "cars"
Librarian suggests: "Did you mean automobiles, vehicles, or transportation?"
You get better results with the expanded search

Common query transformations:

Expansion: Add related terms ("solar" → "solar, photovoltaic, renewable energy")
Reformulation: Rephrase for clarity ("how r cars made" → "how are cars manufactured")
Keyword extraction: Focus on important terms ("What is the capital of France?" → "capital France")
