Patent number: 10572561Abstract: A first search is performed in response to a received search query. The first search is based at least in part on a first portion of the search query. In the first search, a first set of content items are searched over to identify a first set of search results. Each result in the first set of search results identifies at least one content item of the first set of content items. A second set of content items for performing a second search is determined based at least in part on one or more of the results in the first set of search results. The second set of content items includes content items not included in the first set of search results. A second search is performed, searching over the second set of content items to identify a second set of search results. The second search is based at least in part on a second portion of the search query. Each result in the second set of search results identifies at least one content item of the second set of content items.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2017Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Corin Anderson, Benedict A.

Patent number: 9043322Abstract: This invention relates to determining page elements to display in response to a search. A method embodiment of this invention determines a page element based on a search result. The method includes: (1) determining a set of result classifications based on the search result, wherein each result classification includes a result category and a result score; and (2) determining the page element based on the set of result classifications. In this way, a classification is determined based on a search result and page elements are generated based on the classification. By using the search result, as opposed to just the query, page elements are generated that corresponds to a predominant interpretation of the user's query within the search results. As result, the page elements may, in most cases, accurately reflect the user's intent.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Tania Bedrax-Weiss, Ramanathan V. Guha, Patrick F. Riley, Corin Anderson

Patent number: 8301615Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for customizing search engine (CSE) behavior. In an embodiment of the present invention, a system customizes a query search of a plurality of search engines. The system includes a search executor configured to receive a search specification having a query modification description, a results modification description, and a specification of sections. The specification of sections includes a first section identifying a first search engine in the plurality of search engines and a second section identifying a second search engine different from the first search engine in the plurality of search engines. The specification of sections also includes a connecting section coupled to the first section and the second section. The connecting section has an associated condition controlling results combined from the first and second sections.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2010Date of Patent: October 30, 2012Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Patrick Riley, Ramanathan Guha, Corin Anderson, Matthew Wytock, Othar Hansson
