GUIDED SEARCH

摘要

Techniques for assisting a user in conducting a search for online content are described. According to various embodiments, a set of search results is generated, in response to a user search query. A list of candidate facet-value pairs, for inclusion in a suggestion facet user interface element for display in-line with the set of search results, is then accessed. The suggestion facet user interface element may be configured, upon user selection, to filter the set of search results based on the corresponding facet-value pair. Thereafter, win rate information identifying win rates associated with each of the candidate facet-value pairs is accessed. A specific one of the candidate facet-value pairs having the highest win rate is then selected for inclusion in the suggestion facet user interface element.
