Patent number: 10061866Abstract: A user query may be evaluated to provide a result set. In case the results do not reflect the user's intent, the device may provide recourse options for adjusting the query in a manner that yields more desirable results, e.g., a suggestion at the top of the result set for a different spelling, or recommendations at the end of the results set for additional query techniques that may yield more accurate results. However, such presentation of recourse options may clutter the user interface and/or go unnoticed by the user. Instead, an adjusted query may be identified with an interpreted probability of reflecting the intent of the query. An adjustment option describing the adjusted query may be inserted into the result set, between a higher-probability first result and a lower-probability second result. Selection of the adjustment option may cause the adjusted query to be evaluated on behalf of the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yogesh Ajit Vaidya, Hua Ding, Nan Wu, Aaron Chun Win Yuen, Karim Hasham, Parthasarathy Govindarajen, Arun Sacheti, Yanfeng Sun, Yandong Guo, Deepak Santhanam

Patent number: 9747377Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for displaying a related content view within a search interface. That is, a search interface, such as a search application, may provide search results that are relevant to a query submitted through the search interface. For example, a main search engine results view comprising one or more search results of the query may be presented within the search interface. Responsive to a semantic zoom operation (e.g., a touch gesture), the search interface may be transitioned from the main search engine results view to a related content view comprising related content that corresponds to the query and/or a (e.g., supplemental) search result for the query. In this way, the user may explore supplemental content, such as query suggestions, images, entity descriptions/profiles, videos, and/or other content, that may be related to a query submitted by the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Daniel Marantz, Aaron C.
