Abstract: A representative image system is described herein that provides a representative image for any given search query. Upon receiving a search for a term (or terms), the system accesses an inverted index to identify images associated with that term. The system then receives a ranked list of images. The ranked list includes image identifiers, and once an item in the list is selected the system can use the associated image identifier to retrieve the image from a thumbnail or other server. If an editor has overridden the default image for the present search query, then the system returns the image identifier for the overridden image, which can be used to access the image from the thumbnail or other server. Thus, the representative image system provides a reliable and universal mechanism for retrieving representative images for any given topic dynamically in real time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying a representative image for any given search query are provided. In response to a search for a query term (or terms), the system accesses an inverted index to identify images associated with that term. The system then receives a ranked list of images. The ranked list includes image identifiers, and once an item in the list is selected the system can use the associated image identifier to retrieve the image from a server. If an editor has overridden the default image for the present search query, then the system returns the image identifier for the overridden image, which can be used to access the image from the server. Thus, the representative image system provides a reliable and universal mechanism for retrieving representative images for any given topic dynamically in real time.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems for generating user interfaces across multiple form factor devices are provided. A server is configured to group a plurality of templates into one or more sets having a different layout for categories of devices or applications. The server receives a request from a device for user interface content. In response, the server parses the request to determine a type for the device or a type for an application requesting the user interface content. The devices or applications are classified by the server based on the identified type for the device or application. A set of appropriate user interfaces is selected based on the type of the device or application. The server maps values to one or more attributes associated with the selected set and transmits the user interface content to the device for rendering.
