Abstract: Selecting and ranking valid variants in search and recommendation systems selects and ranks variants with accuracy and speed. Criteria for evaluating the relevance of a variant to the search request are generated. A set of procedures for the selection and ranking of variants and a sequence for performing said procedures for the selection of variants evaluated as the most valid are established. An evaluation of each variant is based on relevance to search request criteria. The variants are then ranked by assigning a rank to each variant based on the condition of correspondence to the greatest number of criteria in decreasing order. Then the variants are selected and ranked in at least two stages using the superposition method, and the variants are selected, ranked and excluded until all of the established selection procedures have been used and the selected group of variants is evaluated as being the most valid.
