Keyword search is a wildly popular way for querying XML document. However, the increasing volume of XML data poses new challenges to keyword search processing. Parallel database is an efficient solution for this problem. In this paper, we study the problem of effective keyword search for SLCA (Smallest lower common ancestor) in parallel XML databases. We propose two efficient algorithm SONB (Scan once with no buffer) and MSOP (Merge strategy based on ordered partition) to compute the SLCA efficiently in the parallel environment. We have performed an extensive experimental study and the results show that our proposed approach achieves high efficiency for the keyword search.
