Publication number: 20160196348Abstract: A method for adjusting search results based on viewed pages is provided. The method may include receiving at least one search request within a plurality of search requests. The method may also include identifying first and second variations of the at least one search request, wherein the first variation is different from the second variation. The method may further include searching for the first and second variations. Additionally, the method may include receiving a plurality of first and second variation search results. The method may also include presenting portions of the received plurality of first and second variation search results, wherein a first and second remainder of the first and second variations are not presented, respectively. The method may further include applying a criteria to adjust the first remainder and the second remainder to be presented, wherein the adjusting is responsive to detecting at least one user action.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2015Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Adrian X.

Patent number: 9021479Abstract: A mechanism is provided for enforcing machine deployment zoning rules in an automatic provisioning system. Responsive to receiving a machine specification from a user for deployment of a virtual machine in a computing environment, the automatic provisioning system applies machine deployment zone rules to the machine specification. Responsive to the machine specification not meeting the machine deployment zone rules, the automatic provisioning system generates a failure notification. The automatic provisioning system presents the failure notification to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Charles D. Brant, Matthew D. Lavin, Joseph Leong, John L. Ryding, III
