Patent number: 9569540Abstract: Methods, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for identifying and presenting rich related sites for task-oriented search queries. Upon receipt of a search query input by a user, one or more query logs are analyzed to determine if the search query is a related to a task being performed by the user. If the query is determined to be a task-oriented search query, search results are identified, as is one or more Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) related to a particular search result. The related URL is presented to the user in association with the particular search result. Additional controls, e.g., search tools that facilitate querying of those URLs determined to be relevant to a particular search result, may also be provided to aid the user in performing the task at hand.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2016Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nitin Agrawal, Tabreez Govani, Jamie P. Buckley, Michael Maxwell Cameron, Liwei Chen, Hugh Evan Williams, Sanaz Ahari, Yang Yang Zhang, Srinath Reddy Aaleti

Patent number: 8572065Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a computer system, and computer media for discovering links in scripts are provided. The computer system includes a crawler, a rules engine, and an index that are utilized to store links generated by scripts located in webpages in the index. The crawler traverses a network to locate webpages having scripts. The rules engine parses the located webpages and extracts the scripts based on rules that are satisfied by segments of the extracted scripts. The rules engine evaluates the segments of the extracted scripts to generate links. After the rules engine validates the links, the rules engine transmits the links to the index for storage.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2007Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kieran Richard McDonald, Srinath Reddy Aaleti, Richard J.

Patent number: 8244750Abstract: An inversion of the basic format of searching is provided herein. Instead of receiving a search query and providing web page results, a search engine receives a web page identifier as search input from an end user, determines related search queries for the associated web page, and provides the related search queries to the end user issuing the search. Related search queries for web pages may also be used to refine search engines performing the basic form of searching by facilitating the determination of web pages to index and the ranking of web pages as search results to user queries. Additionally, related search queries may be used in advertising revenue generation and sharing.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2007Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Krishna Chaitanya Gade, Srinath Reddy Aaleti, Nicholas Eric Craswell, Amit Prakash, Hugh Evan Williams

Publication number: 20090299964Abstract: A method and medium are provided for determining whether search queries issued to a search engine are navigational search queries and displaying related search queries and corresponding URLs in association with a URL corresponding to a target of the navigational search query. One embodiment of the method includes receiving a query log and determining whether search queries are navigational search queries based on a comparison of URLs selected in response to the search queries. A set of related navigational queries and corresponding URLs is then compiled by analyzing the query log. The set can comprise search queries issued within a predetermined period of time from the receipt of a navigational search query. Search queries are filtered from the set if they are not navigational search queries. The set of related search queries and corresponding URLs is presented in association with the URL corresponding to the navigational search query.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2008Publication date: December 3, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: MICHAEL MAXWELL CAMERON, HUGH EVAN WILLIAMS, SRINATH REDDY AALETI, NITIN AGRAWAL, TABREEZ GOVANI
