  • Patent number: 8583670
    Abstract: Presenting one or more suggested search-engine queries based on an initial search-engine query is described herein. Once the initial query is received, a search engine determines whether any web content is relevant thereto. If not, a query-suggestion service determines whether any suggested queries can be substituted for the initial query. If not, the query is spell-corrected, if necessary, and parsed into individual terms. Each parsed term is then checked to see whether it can be associated with alternative search terms. Terms than can are combined and their combination is also checked for alternative search terms. All of the alternative search terms are scored and then assembled into a list of suggested search terms that is presented to the user.

  • Patent number: 8572074
    Abstract: Computer-readable media and computerized methods for automatically organizing search results according to task groups are provided. The methods involve aggregating a gallery of entities (e.g., search queries that share a common categorization) into a query class and assigning a dictionary (e.g., list of terms that are drawn from various sources) to the query class. The task groups are identified from the list of terms within the dictionary. The process of identification includes analyzing patterns of user search behavior to select terms from the list of terms, which reflect popular user search intents, and ranking the selected terms based on predetermined parameters to produce an ordering. Based on the ordering, a set of the selected terms that are highest ranked are declared the task groups. The task groups are employed to arrange the search results on a UI display and to provide a consistent and intuitive format for refining a search.

  • Patent number: 7974219
    Abstract: A system, and a corresponding method, implemented on a suitable computing device, provides for troubleshooting a network using path topology. The system includes a network node manager that generates and displays a path topology. The path topology a most probable path between two end point elements in the network. The most probable path includes one or more network elements disposed between the two end point elements, and the path topology includes identities of each of the network elements. The system also includes a health report generator, coupled to the network node manager, that receives identities of each of the network elements, determines summary performance information for each of the network elements, and displays the summary performance information.
