DETERMINING SEARCH RELEVANCE FROM USER FEEDBACK

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for using relevance indications provided by a user in performing a search. Search results corresponding to a search query are provided to a user of a client computing device. The user provides a relevance indication corresponding to relevance of at least one of the search results. A subsequent search is performed which takes the relevance indication into account.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, the program comprising:
code that performs a search using a first search query received in a first search request from a client device to produce a first plurality of search results, the search being associated with a catalog and the first plurality of search results corresponding to items respective user control listed in the catalog; code that provides the first plurality of search results to the client device in response to the first search request; code that receives a plurality of relevance indications corresponding to an indication of a respective relevance of at least one of the first plurality of search results, wherein the respective relevance is associated with a relevance score based at least in part upon search behavior data associated with previous submissions of the search query; code that determines whether individual ones of the plurality of relevance indications meet a relevance threshold, the relevance threshold set dynamically as a point at which relevance scores associated with the first plurality of search results begin to decline by a predetermined number of score units; code that performs a subsequent search using the search query in response to receiving a second search request while excluding individual ones of the first plurality of search results that have a respective relevance score that fails to meet the relevance threshold to produce a second plurality of search results, the second plurality of search results corresponding to items listed in the catalog; and code that provides the second plurality of search results to the client device in response to the second search request.
