  • Publication number: 20230237112
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for indexing actions for resources. In an aspect, a method receiving, for each resource a plurality of resources that are each accessible by a user device, action data describing actions supported by each resource, each action being an action that can be performed by the user device processing the resource; for each resource: determining, from the action data, an action type for each action supported by the resource, determining, from the action data, action parameters for each action supported by the resource, and indexing the action data, action types and action parameters for the resource in an index that is searchable by a search engine.

  • Patent number: 9767159
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing ranked search results responsive to a query. In one aspect, a method includes receiving, from a user device, a query specifying an entity, determining two or more resources each of which provide media content related to the entity, for each of the resources, determining an effectiveness measure that is a measure of the effectiveness of the resource to present, to a user of the user device, the media content related to the entity, ranking the resources using, at least in part, the respective effectiveness measure, and providing, to the user device, a presentation of search results for the ranked resources.
