As far as I can see the EntitySearcher provides representations of Entities given their IDs. Correct?
What the Freebase Entity Search engine does is: 1. take *nouns* (from the PoS Tagging, or similar) 2. use the Freebase search APIs to find *entities* *IDs*, 3. use a referenced site (the DBpedia Site) to get the fields for those entities. Therefore we do not use Freebase to retrieve properties (because in Freebase they're not as complete as in DBpedia, or anyway are mostly in English), but to search the most likely entity IDs. Then we use these IDs against the DBpedia Referenced Site (using the *sameAs*). Does it make it a possible candidate for as an EntitySearcher?
