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 attribute 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 attribute to the relevance server; processing, at the relevance server, the keywords and at least one keyword attribute and the search results and at least one search attribute, 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, and then generating an output, by the 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; receiving, by the computer processing device, entry of one or more additional characters to the at least partial search term to transform the at least partial search term into an updated at least partial search term; accessing the database to identify and retrieve second keywords and at least one second keyword attribute associated with each second keyword, based on the updated at least partial search term; accessing the database to identify and retrieve second search results based on the second keywords retrieved, and at least one second search attribute associated with each second search result; and processing, at the relevance server, the second keywords and at least one second keyword attribute and the second search results and at least one second search attributes, comprising: generating an output, by the computer processing device, updating the search results displayed to reflect any changes following the entry of additional characters to the at least partial search term.
