| 20080222063 | Extensible mechanism for detecting duplicate search items - Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with identifying and selectively deleting duplicate search results are described. One example system embodiment includes logic to receive an identity indicator from a search logic. The identity indicator is associated with a search item that the search logic determines to be relevant to a search request. The example system may also include logic to determine whether the search result associated with the identity indicator is a duplicate result based on comparing the identity indicator to another identity indicator associated with another search result. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080235210 | Searching related documents - Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with logically expanding a document and determining the relevance of the logically expanded document to a query are described. One method embodiment includes searching an index to locate a document identifier for a document in which a query term appears. The method includes determining whether the index entry includes an expansion identifier, and, if so, producing a logically expanded document. The logically expanded document may include both a document associated with the document identifier and a document associated with the expansion identifier. The method may then determine a relevance value of the logically expanded document with respect to the query and may provide a signal corresponding to the relevance value. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090006356 | CHANGING RANKING ALGORITHMS BASED ON CUSTOMER SETTINGS - Search term ranking algorithms can be generated and updated based on customer settings, such as where a ranking algorithm is modeled as a combination function of different ranking factors. An end user of a search system provides personalized preferences for weighted attributes, generally or for a single instance of the query. The user also can indicate the relative importance of one or more ranking factors by specifying different weights to the factors. Ranking factors can specify document attributes, such as document title, document body, document page rank, etc. Based on the attribute weights and the received user query, a ranking algorithm function will produce the relevant value for each document corresponding to the user preferences and personalization configurations. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090100039 | Extensible mechanism for grouping search results - Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with grouping automated search results are described. One embodiment includes a computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions operable to perform a method that includes identifying items to group. The method also includes selectively grouping a first item and a second item upon determining that a comparison of a metadata attributes indicates that the first item and the second item are to be treated as members of a group. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20100185611 | RE-RANKING SEARCH RESULTS FROM AN ENTERPRISE SYSTEM - A flexible and extensible architecture allows for secure searching across an enterprise. Such an architecture can provide a simple Internet-like search experience to users searching secure content inside (and outside) the enterprise. The architecture allows for the crawling and searching of a variety of sources across an enterprise, regardless of whether any of these sources conform to a conventional user role model. The architecture further allows for security, recency, or other attributes to be submitted at query time, for example, in order to re-rank query results from enterprise resources. The user query also can be transformed to provide for dynamic querying that provides for a more current result list than can be obtained for static queries. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100268711 | DOCUMENT SUMMARIZATION - Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with automatically summarizing a document are described. One method embodiment includes computing term scores for members of a set of terms in a document to be summarized and computing sentence scores for sentences in a set of sentences in the document. The method embodiment also includes computing a set of entries for a term-sentence matrix that relates terms to sentences. The method embodiment also includes computing a dominant topic for the document and simultaneously ranking the set of terms and the set of sentences based on the dominant topic. The method embodiment provides a summarization item(s) selected from the set of terms and/or the set of sentences. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110246443 | SUGGESTED CONTENT WITH ATTRIBUTE PARAMETERIZATION - A flexible and extensible architecture allows for secure searching across an enterprise. Such an architecture can provide a simple Internet-like search experience to users searching secure content inside (and outside) the enterprise. The architecture allows for the crawling and searching of a variety of sources across an enterprise, regardless of whether any of these sources conform to a conventional user role model. The architecture further allows for security attributes to be submitted at query time, for example, in order to provide real-time secure access to enterprise resources. The user query also can be transformed to provide for dynamic querying that provides for a more current result list than can be obtained for static queries. | 10-06-2011 |
