Query expansion is the process of supplementing additional terms or phrases to the original query to improve the retrieval performance. Nowadays retrieval performance of a search engine plays a vital role. Along with the retrieval performance precise information is also required. It is very difficult to get the precise information which is actually required by the user through Micro post or short comment. Micro post is a form of short comment which people generally give on social networking site to interact with their friends and share the information. The information is written using least number of words. Since there is less number of keywords to retrieve the information we need to expand the micro post this is known as query expansion. It has been suggested as an effective way to resolve the short query and word disambiguation problems. This query expansion helps to retrieve the precise information from the large data. After expanding the micro post we can understand the actual sense of users’ query. The proposed system will expand the micro post which will help in specific Information Retrieval.

In today’s world people are connected with each other through social networking media. Hence they are more addicted to less typing and least bothered about the grammar. But complications occur when it comes to search engine. It is very difficult to optimize this kind of user query which is very short. Hence the proposed system describes and tries to overcome the above discussed problem regarding the query optimization. Query Expansion is a proposed technique to get the actual sense of the asked query and then retrieve the information. Query expansion will help to retrieve the precise information from the micro post. This expanded query will help the user to get accurate information.
