Dynamic reranking of search results based upon source authority

摘要

Concepts and technologies are described herein for dynamically reranking search results based upon source authority. A search query is received and analyzed. One or more topics are identified in the search query. An authority index is searched to identify authoritative sources for content relating to the identified topic(s). Promoted results corresponding to content generated by the authoritative sources relating to the identified topics are obtained. The promoted results can be presented to an entity requesting the search, or injected into search results. Contribution dimensions associated with the promoted results can be determined, and filters based upon the contribution dimensions can be generated and used by an entity to dynamically manipulate the search results.

1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically reranking search results based upon source authority, the computer-implemented method comprising performing computer-implemented operations for:
analyzing a received search query to determine a query topic associated with the search query; searching an authority index to identify authoritative sources relating to the query topic, the authority index comprising a plurality of entries, wherein each entry defines an authoritative source for content relating to the query topic, wherein identifying the authoritative sources comprises: accessing an authority index; searching the authority index for entries associated with the query topic; identifying a plurality of entries associated with the query topic, each of the plurality of entries being associated with a source having a corresponding authority value and corresponding to one of the promoted results, and defining the authoritative sources as the sources that authored the promoted results; obtaining, from the authority index, promoted results identifying the content relating to the query topic; computing at least one contribution dimension for the sources associated with the promoted results; generating a contribution dimension filter for filtering the promoted results and the search result based upon the contribution dimension; and dynamically reranking the promoted results and the search result based upon the contribution dimension in response to receiving input indicating a command to apply the contribution dimension filter to the promoted results and the search result; and outputting the reranked promoted results with the search result.
