  • Patent number: 7895181
    Abstract: A system that tunes search results is presented. During operation, the system receives content to be searched. The system then iteratively performs the following operations until search results meet specified criteria. The system generates an index of the content based on a set of configuration parameters. Next, the system performs a search against the index to produce the search results. The system then determines whether the search results meet the specified criteria. If the search results do not meet the specified criteria, the system modifies one or more of: the set of configuration parameters; and the content. If the search results meet the specified criteria, the system saves the set of configuration parameters into a configuration file which can be used to generate the index for the content.
