  • Providing query recourse with embedded query adjustment options
    Patent number: 10061866
    Abstract: A user query may be evaluated to provide a result set. In case the results do not reflect the user's intent, the device may provide recourse options for adjusting the query in a manner that yields more desirable results, e.g., a suggestion at the top of the result set for a different spelling, or recommendations at the end of the results set for additional query techniques that may yield more accurate results. However, such presentation of recourse options may clutter the user interface and/or go unnoticed by the user. Instead, an adjusted query may be identified with an interpreted probability of reflecting the intent of the query. An adjustment option describing the adjusted query may be inserted into the result set, between a higher-probability first result and a lower-probability second result. Selection of the adjustment option may cause the adjusted query to be evaluated on behalf of the user.
