  • Publication number: 20240095816
    Abstract: A server receives an initial query that identifies a first item listed by a first user account and an initial query value for the first item. The server provides the initial query to a first computing device associated with the first user account and receives a first response to the initial query from the first computing device. The first response indicates a rejection of the initial query value. In response to the rejection, the server identifies a second item listed by a second user account. The second item includes a shared attribute with the first item. The server substitutes the initial query with a replacement query that identifies the second item and the initial query value for the first item. The replacement query is provided to a second computing device associated with the second user account.

  • Publication number: 20140236678
    Abstract: A computing apparatus is configured to: receive a search term from a user; identify a region within which a residence location of the user is located; obtain a spending profile generated based on aggregating transaction data of users residing in the region; and customize a search result based on the spending profile. For examples, spending of users residing in different regions (e.g., identified via zip+4 postal codes) can be aggregated within respective regions, and normalized and/or ranked across the regions to generate spending preference indicators. Further, the average distances between the residence locations of users residing with different regions and merchant locations at which the users make transactions using payment accounts are determined for the respective regions. The spending indicators and the average distance are used to select, prioritize and/or customize search results to reflect the spending preferences of users based on the residence regions of the users.
