Abstract: Disclosed is a processor based system and method for ranking, searching and managing contact information of a contact database. The said contact information is ranked based on various criteria, such as, who knows whom, similarity of interests, proximity of user devices, frequently dialed numbers, devices as well as simultaneously searching for similar information on the internet. The system and method also provides means for removing defunct contacts. Further, the system and method also provides mechanism by which the contact information is searched on external data repositories, such as the internet, when a desired contact is unavailable to the user.

Abstract: The processor implemented method and system disclosed herein includes transmitting a search term to a server via a user computing device, wherein the server identifies a plurality of categories and a plurality of products corresponding to the search term. The method and system is adapted to access a plurality of weightage attributes and a plurality of ranking attributes through the server. The method and system thereafter determines a weightage level for each identified category and also determines a ranking level for each identified product. The method and system is adapted to sort the at least one category and the at least one product. The sorting is based on the plurality of weightage attributes and plurality of ranking attributes respectively. After sorting, the method is adapted to display said sorted category and sorted product through the user computing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a hardware processor implemented methods and systems for searching and ranking chat sessions or conversations in a user computing device having a chat contact database or data structure. A chat contact database or data structure can include a plurality of chat records exchanged with different people. The systems and method can process a search query to retrieve records from a database. Further, search context(s) may be identified. Furthermore, the retrieved search results may be ranked based on predefined hierarchy criteria. The ranked results may be sorted based on ranking associated with retrieved search result. Finally sorted results can be displayed.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to methods and systems for searching a networked database system, such as data residing on one or more servers to identify and present more direct and objective results relevant to the user's requirements. The present method includes receiving an input from the user specifying the user's requirements. The received input is used to identify one or more context(s) of a search. The search is then conducted over the network based on the identified context(s) or the search term to identify one or more results relevant to the input. The results may be various network resources. The present system navigates through the results and removes the duplicate information. The system extracts important information from the network resources. The extracted information is then merged into more direct and objective answers. These results are then generated and output as a modified network resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing a search query with respect to one or more database systems on a local computing system or a remote networked computing system. The search query may be parsed to identify a search context. The database systems may include electronic messages and the associated digital data attachments. The results retrieved from the database system based on the search query processing may be ranked. The ranking can correspond to the extent of relevancy of the search query. The retrieved results can be sorted according to the rankings. The sorted results can be outputted on a computing device.

Abstract: A method of evaluating buyer information for sale to potential manufacturers, merchants, sellers, and the like reduces marketing costs through higher customer conversion rates and improved customer satisfaction. The customer information is priced using an inventive pricing algorithm. An information exchange is established to facilitate clients bidding on the information in the form of packets that contain a rich profile of the customer. Purchase of the information by the client (i.e., buyer) affords access to a circle of influence. Access to the information and the circle of influence allows the clients to own, know, and influence the customer at a critical time in the purchasing cycle, thereby creating a paradigm shift in managing customer demand and influencing customer decisions. In operation, the method reduces marketing costs through higher customer conversion rates and improved customer satisfaction.
