  • System, method and interface for providing a search result using segment constraints
    Patent number: 10152533
    Abstract: A method for providing a search result includes receiving a user query and determining, in response to receiving the user query, a set of segment candidates based on the user query and an indexing structure. The indexing structure is associated with at least one segment constraint. The method further includes ranking the set of segment candidates and providing a result associated with the set of segment candidates. Another method includes ranking each segment within the set of segment candidates based on a set of prioritized features. Another method has the at least one segment constraint including at least one of a critical keyword and an exclusionary keyword. Another method further includes excluding a segment based on the at least one segment constraint comprising the exclusionary keyword.
