Query performance prediction (QPP) aims to forecast the effectiveness of a search engine across a range of queries and documents.

To determine the ideal configurations to use on a per-query basis in real-world systems we developed a method in which a restricted number of possible configurations is pre-selected and then used in a meta-search engine that decides the best search configuration on a per query basis.

In this paper, we examine selective query processing in different settings, both in terms of effectiveness and efficiency; this includes selective query expansion and other forms of selective query processing (e. g., when the term weighting function varies or when the expansion model varies).

We found that: (1) our model based on a limited number of selected features is as good as more complex models for QPP and better than non-selective models; (2) our model is more efficient than complex models during inference time since it requires fewer features; (3) the predictive model is readable and understandable; and (4) one of our new QPP features is consistently selected across different collections, proving its usefulness.
