Publication number: 20230021259Abstract: A system for providing a search service is disclosed and includes a processor-based search service application builder component that provides a search model representing a search service application for an object. The search model is based at least on an end-user input field corresponding to a first attribute associated with the object and a user-defined search result output field corresponding to a second attribute of the object. The search model comprises code to generate a user interface that includes an input section for receiving values for the first attribute and a search results section for outputting values of the second attribute, code to generate a search query using a search query model associated with a selected query type, and code to receive search result data returned in response to the search query and format the search result data for inclusion in the search results section.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Pierre-Yves Chevalier, Marc Brette, Samir Batla, David Le Strat

Patent number: 11475077Abstract: A system for providing a search service is disclosed and includes a processor-based search service application builder component that provides a search model representing a search service application for a first object of a plurality of objects. The search model is based at least on a user-defined end-user input field corresponding to a first attribute of a plurality of attributes associated with the first object and a user-defined search result output field corresponding to a second attribute of the plurality of attributes. The search model is also associated with a backend data store that supports a storage structure configured to store information relating to the first object. The system also includes a processor-based deployment engine that automatically configures a search engine system associated with the backend data store system to generate and/or update search index(es) based on at least one of the first attribute and the second attribute.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2018Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: Open Text CorporationInventors: Pierre-Yves Chevalier, Marc Brette, Samir Batla, David Le Strat

Patent number: 10762091Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to providing interactive feedback based on changes in search parameters. A computing system may receive user input specifying adjustment of a relevancy parameter from a first value to a modified value. The relevancy parameter may be usable to determine ordering of results for search queries. In response to the input, the system may cause information to be displayed that indicates a value of a search metric, and the value may be based on one or more prior search queries using the adjusted relevancy parameter. The system may additionally or alternatively cause first and second sets of ordered search results to be displayed, where the first set is based on the first value of the relevancy parameter and the second set is based on the modified value of the relevancy parameter.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2015Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Pierre-Yves Chevalier, Cyrille Roy

Publication number: 20200050693Abstract: Managing indexing transactions in a database environment using at least a main database and at least one corresponding clone database. A time associated with a database request is determined. A lag time associated with data in a secondary database is determined. Data to service the database request is retrieved from the secondary database if the lag time is less than a pre-selected tolerance time for corresponding data. Data to service the database request is retrieved from the primary database if the lag time is greater than a pre-selected tolerance time for corresponding data. A response to the database request with the retrieved data is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2018Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Olumayokun Obembe, Alex Ovesea, Jason Woods, Ping-Hsiu Hsieh, IIan Ginzburg, Matthieu Bloch, Pierre-Yves Chevalier, Scott Ware, Christophe Mourot, Dylan Hingey

Patent number: 10552464Abstract: A database system may generate a new case associated with a customer support query. The database system may initiate a search for other cases related to the new case and identify articles linked to the related cases. The database system may identify more relevant articles by finding the related cases that use a similar vocabulary for describing similar customer problems. The database system then identifies the articles used for resolving the prior problems. Thus, the database system may bridge the gap between vocabularies used by customers to describe problems and vocabularies used in articles to describe solutions to those problems.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: SALESFORCE.COM, INC.Inventors: Bruno Roustant, Marc Brette, Pierre-Yves Chevalier, Francois Lopitaux, Ghislain Brun, Ilan Ginzburg, Jean-Baptiste Charlety, Pierre Salagnac, Son Thanh Chang

Patent number: 10275110Abstract: A system for moving search results visibly comprises an interface, a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to a) determine an ordering of one or more results in a subsequent set of search results as merged into a displayed set of search results; b) determine one or more interleaving positions for the subsequent set of search results in the displayed set of search results; c) cause the creation of one or more blank spaces in the one or more interleaving positions; and d) cause a display of one or more results in the subsequent set of search results in the one or more blank spaces. The memory causes a display of one or more results in the subsequent set of search results in the one or more blank spaces.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2016Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Pierre-Yves Chevalier, Marc Brette
