Publication number: 20070094242Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for re-ordering the results from an information search, such as an Internet search in order to maximize the likelihood that the user will see a result they want in the first page or two of large or very large results lists. The results of the information search are examined for a wide variety of factors that could be considered to create diversity among the results a user is most likely to see. A subset of results are selected, with some results from each categorized group, for presentation to the user. The user is presented with a diverse set of search results so that the desired information may be located and/or the search narrowed more efficiently. This is easily extended to include any process which can benefit from receiving results from an information search where the receiving process benefits from having a high degree of variation occur among the first subset of results returned.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2005Publication date: April 26, 2007Inventors: John Dove, Albert Stevens
