Abstract: Systems and methods for arranging records in search results to be provided in response to a data inquiry of a database. After search results including records are received, a determination is made with respect to the order of the records in the search results. This determination may be based on various factors such as the destination of the search results, the preferred status of certain records over other records, a marketing determination with respect to the records, a frequency determination with respect to the number of times that a record or records may have already been provided in response to data inquiries, a weighting factor determination or a combination of one or more of these factors. In response to the determination of the order of the records in the search results, the records then are arranged into ordered records based on the determination.

Abstract: A system and method for determining a desired listing by ranking coverage areas based on the intersection of a search region and one or more coverage areas. The desired listing is created by determining the location of a reference point and defining the search region in respect to the reference point. The search region is compared against the coverage areas of the listings. The coverage area of each listing may be defined by default based upon a categorization of the listing or upon selection criteria, such as payment of a fee. The coverage areas that intersect with the search region are typically ranked in descending order based upon the area of the intersection region, which is the area including both the coverage area and the search region. Alternatively, if no intersecting regions exist, the coverage areas may be ranked in descending order based on the proximity of the perimeter of the coverage areas to the reference point.
