Patent number: 8161072Abstract: A system plots results of a data search. The system executes one or more search queries to search stored data. The system receives results of the executed one or more search queries, where the results are orderable by at least one search characteristic. The system designates a visual representation for each of the results. The system plots each of the visual representations on a multi-dimensional graphical display, where at least one dimension of the multi-dimensional graphical display corresponds to the at least one search characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2009Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventor: Karl Pfleger

Patent number: 8145618Abstract: A system and method for scoring documents is described. One or more documents are identified responsive to a search criteria. A text match score indicating a quality of match of the identified documents is determined. A category match score is determined over categories. A document-categories score is determined indicating a quality of match between an identified document and a plurality of categories. A search criteria-categories score is determined indicating a quality of match between the search criteria and the categories. An overall score is determined based on the text match score and the category match score.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2010Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Karl Pfleger, Brian Larson

Publication number: 20110270863Abstract: A system determines whether a received search query includes an entity name, determines whether to rewrite the received search query based on information relating to prior searches involving the entity name, and rewrites the received search query when it is determined that the received search query should be rewritten. The system further determines whether to provide a suggestion of rewriting the received search query, as a rewriting suggestion, based on information relating to prior searches involving the entity name when it is determined that the received search query should not be rewritten. The system also generates the rewriting suggestion when it is determined that the rewriting suggestion should be provided. The system performs a search based on one of the received search query and the rewritten search query to obtain search results, presents the search results, and presents the rewriting suggestion when it is determined that the rewriting suggestion should be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2011Publication date: November 3, 2011Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventor: Karl PFLEGER

Publication number: 20110184930Abstract: Methods and systems for adjusting a scoring measure of a search result based at least in part on the breadth of a previously-executed search query associated with the search result are described. In one described system, a search engine determines a popularity measure for a search result, and then adjusts the popularity measure based at least in part on a query breadth measure of a previously-executed search query associated with the search result. The search engine may use a variety of query breadth measures. For example, the search engine may use the quantity of results returned by the search query, the length of the query, the IR score drop-off, or some other measure of breadth.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2011Publication date: July 28, 2011Applicant: GOOGLE INC.Inventors: Karl Pfleger, Brian Larson
