Method for determining relevant search results

摘要

Systems and methods for determining search results. The method may include receiving an at least partial search term, and identifying keywords based on the at least partial search term, wherein each keyword has an associated keyword measure based on the number of times each keyword has been previously searched for within a predetermined time period. For each keyword search results associated with the keyword may be identified, wherein each result has an associated search measure. A relevance measure may be determined for each result using the keyword measure the search measure, and used to provide at least one of the results as a search result for the at least partial search term.

1. A computer implemented method for determining search results, comprising the steps of:
receiving, by a computer processing device, an at least partial search term input into a search interface; accessing a database to identify and retrieve keywords based on the at least partial search term and at least one keyword attribute associated with each keyword, wherein the at least one keyword attribute is based on the number of times each keyword has been previously searched for within a predetermined time period, and communicating the keywords and at least one keyword attributes to a relevance server comprising a computer processing device; accessing the database to identify and retrieve search results based on each keyword and at least one search attribute associated with each search result and communicating the search results and at least one search attributes to the relevance server; processing, at the relevance server, the keywords and at least one keyword attributes and the search results and at least one search attributes, the processing step comprising:
transforming the at least one keyword attribute and the at least one search attribute into a relevance attribute for each search result,comparing the relevance attributes of the search results, andthen generating an output, by a computer processing device, displaying at least one of the search results based upon the results of the comparison of the relevance attributes of the search results and at least one of the retrieved keywords for selection by a user in conjunction with the displayed search results; receiving, at the relevance server, notification that one of the displayed keywords has been highlighted by the user; and processing the notification to transform the keyword attribute associated with the highlighted keyword into a higher weighted keyword attribute.
