20080208824 | Methods and systems for providing a response to a query - Methods and systems for providing a response to a query. Multiple users' search engine activity in regard to a query is correlated. A response is provided based upon this correlated search engine activity information. For one embodiment of the invention, in the context of search engine result optimization, the user activity and/or user information of multiple users, during a search session, is correlated with queries to effect an evolving association between queries and the organization and presentation of documents. Systems in accordance with such embodiments employ the ability to store users' activity over the entire search session, thus making possible the correlation of a number of different types of user activity and user information. The use of correlated user input allows such systems to provide relevant search results without the limitations imposed by the key-word-based systems of the prior art. | 08-28-2008 |

20090248669 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ORGANIZING INFORMATION - A system and method to process data having a module stored on the server computer system for receiving a query over a network from a client computer system. A search engine utilizes the query to extract a search result from a data source. A query decomposition module decomposes the query into at least one n-gram which is a subset of the query. A processing module processes the at least one n-gram to determine at least one related search suggestion. A merging module merges the at least one related search suggestion into a ranked output data set. A transmission module transmits the search result and the at least one related search suggestion from the server computer system to the client computer system. | 10-01-2009 |
20090271371 | SEARCH CUSTOMIZATION BY GEO-LOCATED PROXY OF USER SEGMENT - A system and method of data processing receives a query at a server computer system. The system and method utilizes the query to extract a search result from a data source. The system and method associates the search result with a geographically distributed population. The system and method associates a demographic criteria with the geographically distributed population and processes the search result to create an output data set based on the demographic criteria. The system and method transmits the output data set from the server computer system to the client computer system. | 10-29-2009 |
