Methods for ranking search results in response to a search query using biased click distances are provided. Documents or nodes in a network, which can be identified as being either authoritative or non-authoritative, are each ranked according to their relevance score to a given search query using biased click distance values which are calculated based on the lesser of first and second click distance values. Where the first click distance value is a function of a number of links that need to be followed to create a path from a first non-authoritative document or node to a first authoritative document or node, and the second click distance value is a function of a number of links that need to be followed to create a path from a first non-authoritative document or node to a second authoritative document or node. |
