Abstract: A device may be configured to enable a user to select a language, and may fulfill resource requests from applications by selecting, from among resources respectively associated with a language, a resource associated with the selected language of the user. However, this resource selection process may be inadequate if the user selects multiple languages; if a resource associated with the selected language of the user is unavailable, but resources associated with related languages are available; or if the user and/or the application specifies an ordering for the selection among the languages. Presented herein are techniques for performing the resource selection by, for respective languages selected by the user, calculating a weight representing a suitability of the language for the resource request; generating a selection order of the selected languages according to the weights; and selecting a resource based on the position of the associated language in the selection order.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are provided for adjusting presentation characteristics of a search engine results page (SERP) by a client device based on a query intent of a user. The client may forward a search prefix to a search service and in response receive one or more query suggestions and one or more machine learning algorithms configured to each query suggestion. The user executes a search query comprising the query intent by selecting one of the query suggestions. The client device computes scores for each result group using the machine learning algorithm configured for the selected query suggestion. At least one presentation characteristic of the SERP is adjusted so that at least one result group is emphasized over another based on the respective result group scores representing a relevance to the query intent.
