摘要： The present invention leverages query-related information based on a query and/or a search intention to provide a systematic means to facilitate a user in locating desired information despite lacking exact search parameters. This allows users to find information without first formulating an optimum search query. The query graph provides a navigable, graphical notion of the query-related information via nodes representative of the query-related information and edges representative of the associations between the information. In one instance of the present invention, the query graph is derived from an information source such as a query log, a query list, and/or a search engine and the like. Additional instances of the present invention utilize visual and/or audible indicators employed with the query graph to facilitate in relaying the query-related information to the user, including, but not limited to, overlays, icons, colors, and dimensional variances and the like.

摘要： Systems and methods that estimate user preference, via automatic interpretation of user behavior. A user behavior component associated with a search engine can automatically interpret collective behavior of users (e.g., web search users). Such feedback component can include user behavior features and predictive models (e.g., from a user behavior component) that are robust to noise, which can be present in observed user interactions with the search results (e.g., malicious and/or irrational user activity.)
摘要翻译：通过用户行为的自动解释来估计用户偏好的系统和方法。与搜索引擎相关联的用户行为组件可以自动解释用户（例如，网络搜索用户）的集体行为。这样的反馈组件可以包括用户行为特征和对噪声鲁棒的预测模型（例如，来自用户行为组件），其可以存在于观察到的与搜索结果（例如，恶意和/或不合理的用户活动）的用户交互中。

摘要： A unique ranking system and method that facilitates improving the ranking and ordering of objects to further enhance the quality, accuracy, and delivery of search results in response to a search query. The system and method involve monitoring and tracking an object in terms of the number of times it's been accessed and optionally by whom, when, for how long, and an access rate. The user's interaction with the object can be tracked as well. By tracking the objects, a popularity measure can be determined. Popularity based rankings can be computed based on the popularity measure or some function thereof. The popularity measure can be affected by the access time, who accessed it, access duration or the user's interaction with the object upon access. The popularity based rankings can be utilized by a search component to improve the quality and retrieval of search results.

摘要： A system and related techniques accepts user search or query terms over of the Internet or other network or connection. In addition to presenting regularly generated search results, according to embodiments of the invention the search engine and related logic may examine the search string for suggested refinements or improvements to the search terms, to attempt to derive improved results or results closer to the user's search intent. According to embodiments of the invention in one regard, the alternative search logic may attempt to extract related or more meaningful search terms from sources including past usage patterns by users, and other data. That alternative search logic may thus examine the user's search terms to determine a substring match to prior searches, for instance stored by the search host for all users. In embodiments, the alternative search logic may likewise present user search extensions or refinement paths selected by prior users running the same search, as an indicator of likely content or source relevance. In further embodiments, the alternative search logic may perform a reverse query lookup to trace queries which resulted in the same Web site or other hit, as the present search and present those other queries as possible alternatives for the user to pursue. These and other search refinements may be performed, taking advantage of usage patterns and other information to improve search quality beyond straightforward spelling-type correction.
摘要翻译：系统和相关技术通过互联网或其他网络或连接接受用户搜索或查询条款。除了呈现定期生成的搜索结果之外，根据本发明的实施例，搜索引擎和相关逻辑可以检查搜索字符串以用于对搜索词的建议改进或改进，以尝试导出更接近用户搜索意图的改进的结果或结果。根据本发明的实施例，替代搜索逻辑可以尝试从源（包括用户的过去使用模式）和其他数据中提取相关或更有意义的搜索项。因此，该替代搜索逻辑可以检查用户的搜索项以确定与先前搜索的子串匹配，例如由搜索主机为所有用户存储。在实施例中，备选搜索逻辑可以同样呈现由运行相同搜索的先前用户选择的用户搜索扩展或细化路径，作为可能内容或源相关性的指示符。在另外的实施例中，替代搜索逻辑可以执行反向查询查找以跟踪导致与当前搜索相同的网站或其他命中的查询，并将这些其他查询呈现为用户追求的可能替代方案。可以利用使用模式和其他信息来提高这些和其他搜索优化，以提高超出直接拼写型校正的搜索质量。

摘要： Systems and methods are described that allow programmatic access to search engine results and query logs in a structured form. The search results can be retrieved from the search engine in an intermediary form that contains the information that is in the HTML pages provided to web browsers (potentially with additional information). This intermediary form can then be broken down on the client machine, using local resources, to assemble the structured objects. The library also provides for caching of the search results. This can be provided both on the local machine and on a remote database. When the results for a query exist in the caches, they can be retrieved from such location instead of querying the search engine. Documents and/or web pages can also be cached. The library can also be directed to operate only from the cache, effectively exposing a local data set instead of the remote search engine.

摘要： The present invention leverages relevance data to provide enhanced search query results based on relevancy to a specific entity via an entity-specific tunable search. This allows an entity to retrieve information that is of more value to that entity, in a faster and more efficient manner. The entity itself can be an individual user, a grouping of users, and/or an enterprise and the like. In one instance of the present invention, entity-specific relevance information is determined via employment of similarity of the entity to another entity or group of entities. Interest levels and/or satisfaction levels of similar entities can also be utilized along with similarity information to facilitate in deriving the relevance information.

摘要： The present invention leverages iterative transformations of search query strings along with statistics extracted from search query logs and/or web data to provide possible alternative spellings for the search query strings. This provides a spell checking means that can be influenced to provide individualized suggestions for each user. By utilizing search query logs, the present invention can account for substrings not found in a lexicon but still acceptable as a search query of interest. This allows a means to provide a higher quality proposal for alternative spellings, beyond the content of the lexicon. One instance of the present invention operates at a substring level by utilizing word unigram and/or bigram statistics extracted from query logs combined with an iterative search. This provides substantially better spelling alternatives for a given query than employing only substring matching. Other instances can receive input data from sources other than a search query input.
摘要翻译：本发明利用搜索查询字符串的迭代变换以及从搜索查询日志和/或web数据提取的统计信息，以提供用于搜索查询字符串的可能的备选拼写。这提供了一个拼写检查手段，可以影响为每个用户提供个性化的建议。通过利用搜索查询日志，本发明可以考虑在词典中未找到的但仍然被认为是感兴趣的搜索查询的子串。这允许一种方法来提供更高质量的替代拼写提案，超出词汇内容。本发明的一个实例通过利用与迭代搜索结合的查询记录中提取的单词和/或二进制统计信息，在子字符串级别上操作。这为给定查询提供了比仅使用子串匹配更好的拼写替代方案。其他实例可以从搜索查询输入以外的其他来源接收输入数据。

摘要： A spell checker based on the noisy channel model has a source model and an error model. The source model determines how likely a word w in a dictionary is to have been generated. The error model determines how likely the word w was to have been incorrectly entered as the string s (e.g., mistyped or incorrectly interpreted by a speech recognition system) according to the probabilities of string-to-string edits. The string-to-string edits allow conversion of one arbitrary length character sequence to another arbitrary length character sequence.
摘要翻译：基于噪声通道模型的拼写检查器具有源模型和误差模型。源模型确定字典中字w的生成可能性。错误模型根据字符串到字符串编辑的概率确定字w被错误地输入为字符串s（例如，由语音识别系统错误地或不正确地解释）的可能性。字符串到字符串的编辑允许将一个任意长度的字符序列转换为另一个任意长度的字符序列。
