  • Patent number: 11361018
    Abstract: Systems and methods for searching digital content are disclosed. A method includes receiving, from a user, a base search constraint. A search constraint includes search values or criteria. A recall set is generated based on the base search constraint. Recommended search constraints are determined and provided to the user. The recommended search constraints are statistically associated with the base search constraint. The method receives, from the user, a selection of a first search constraint included in the plurality of recommend search constraints. The method generates and provides search results to the user that include a re-ordering of the recall set. The re-ordering is based on a search constraint set that includes both the base search constraint and the selected first search constraint. The re-ordering is further based on a weight associated with the base search constraint and another user-provided weight associated with the first search constraint.
