Abstract: This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for handling a request for a web page of a server. An intermediary between a client and a server may intercept a request from the client for a first web page of a plurality of web pages of the server. The intermediary may have a plurality of pre-determined configurations for the plurality of web pages. The intermediary may generate, responsive to the request, based on a first configuration pre-determined for the first web page, a fragment of the first web page. The fragment may comprise at least one object specified by the first configuration and cached from a prior copy of the first web page received by the intermediary, and (ii) at least one object not in the prior copy. The intermediary may transmit, prior to receiving a response from the server, the fragment to the client for rendering.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to methods and systems for managing variants of a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) object. An intermediary, between at least one client and a server, may generate variants of an HTTP object. The HTTP object may be received from the server responsive to a first request for the HTTP object. The variants may include a first variant generated based on a first parameter of a plurality of parameters. The plurality of parameters may be identified based on one or more requests for the HTTP object from the at least one client. The intermediary may store the variants of the HTTP object in a cache. The intermediary may retrieve, responsive to interception of a second request to the server for the HTTP object and based on a determination of the first parameter from the second request, the first variant from the variants stored in the cache.

Abstract: A system for optimizing a website for different contexts includes an intermediary component configured to connect to clients and servers via network connections, means for analyzing a HTTP request from a client and determining specific context of the HTTP request, means for configuring optimization settings of selected website properties for the specific context of the HTTP request, and means for applying the configured context-specific optimization settings to redirected HTTP requests and HTTP responses. The intermediary component includes a traffic management system (TMS) and a traffic processing system (TPS). The TMS manages HTTP requests originating from the clients and targeting the servers and HTTP responses targeting the clients and redirects the HTTP requests to the intermediary component. The TPS receives the redirected HTTP requests and the HTTP responses, detects the context and applies relevant optimization techniques for the specific context to the redirected HTTP requests and the HTTP responses.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method of query disambiguation. At least one model is generated using training data, which model can be used to score, or rank, possible interpretations identified for a query, which can be used to select an interpretation from a number of possible interpretations. A selected interpretation can be used to process a web search request, e.g., to generate search results that relate to the selected query interpretation, rank or order the items in the search result based on relevance to the selected query interpretation, and/or identify a presentation to be used to display the search results based on the selected query interpretation.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically updating queries on a data store, such as a personal content database (PCDB), are provided. A query engine runs queries against two indexes: a first index that represents a previous state of documents and a second index that represents a current state of documents. The query is run twice and a delta analysis is performed, i.e., a determination is made as to which documents have changed in some respect from the previous state to the current state, and a view or a count associated with at least one query changes in accordance with the delta analysis. Transactions may be batched dynamically by a transaction manager until an optimal number of documents have changed or a certain amount of time has passed prior to re-running the query and performing the delta analysis.

Abstract: Systems and methods for query processing and indexing of documents in connection with a content store in a computing system are provided. In various embodiments, an indexing model is provided that is optimized for fast, efficient and scalable retrieval of documents satisfying a query, including the mixed use of forward and inverted indexing representations, including algorithms for achieving a balance between the two representations. When processing queries, fast and efficient generation of reverse chronologically ordered posting lists is enabled for efficient execution of logical operators on query result sets. A term expand index is also provided wherein the overall terms included in the term expand index are decomposed into a plurality of lexicon files, which are combined when convenient for fast, scalable efficiency when performing queries of the content in the content store.

Abstract: A search-based email client may incorporate a number of useful features. A search function can default to a search of all email contexts, thereby eliminating user cogitation over which context an email message may be stored in. Furthermore, the search function can automatically search for related personal content and/or related information on the internet or other computer network, and present this useful information to the user in addition to the returned emails. The search function can be integrated into a user interface to allow for one-click searches on any likely search field. The search function can search the body of email messages by default, thereby widening the scope of default searches and eliminating potentially missed information and user need to proactively widen their search. A search function can search attachments, which also provides a wider search scope.
