Patent number: 9189550Abstract: Embodiment described herein are generally directed to a toolbar extension of a web browser that grabs a user's search engine query and suggests a refined search query known to yield better search results. The toolbar recognizes the web page the user is on as being associated with a search engine and retrieves the user's search query. The toolbar interacts with a refinement component on a server, and the refinement component determines a refined search query based on confidence scores assigned to data mined from a data center affiliated with different search engine (one related to the toolbar). The refined search query is returned and displayed in a search field of the toolbar, allowing the user to easily run the refined search on the different search engine.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2011Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Timothy Edgar, Ambarish Chitnis, Ryen William White, Pavel Dmitriev, Rajanikanth Ageeru, Ovidiu Dan, Lin Tang

Patent number: 8590012Abstract: A gateway controls access to a region of a network by either granting or denying a client machine access to the network region based on whether a particular program is running on the client machine. A program is installed on the client machine which sends a detectable indication that the program is running. When it is detected that the program is running, the gateway allows the client machine access to the network region. When the program is not detected to be running, the gateway denies the client machine access to the network region.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2007Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Paul Roy, Khalid Al-Azzawe, Cale Carter, Ambarish Chitnis, Richard Masao Hawes

Publication number: 20130124496Abstract: A toolbar extension of a web browser suggests a user try searching a different search engine than the one on which the user has just conducted a search. The toolbar detects the user is frustrated with the search results returned by the search engine by monitoring a number of session heuristics. Analyzing historical user session, log, and click data of other users who have submitted the search query to different search engines, a different search engine is selected that has historically generated better search results. A suggestion is then presented to the user to run the search query in the more effective search engine. Such a suggestion may be presented in a number of ways, but one embodiment displays a window next to the text field of the toolbar and provides a link to conduct a search for the search query in the more effective search engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2011Publication date: May 16, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: TIMOTHY EDGAR, AMBARISH CHITNIS, RYEN WILLIAM WHITE, PAVEL DMITRIEV, RAJANIKANTH AGEERU, OVIDIU DAN, LIN TANG
