Abstract: Our approach seeks to reduce the complexity of this type of calculation through approximation and pre-computation. It is designed to work efficiently with modern relational database constructs for content management. The approach is designed to enable the kinds of highly interactive data-driven visualizations that are the hallmark of third generation business intelligence.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for visualization of search results includes a map displayed to a user on a screen. The map shows search query terms and optionally other terms related to the search query terms. The display of the terms corresponds to relationship between the terms. A graphical image is displayed next to at least one of the search query terms. The graphical image is associated with a URL that corresponds to a search result. The graphical image is a favorite icon that is derived from the HTML script associated with a webpage at the URL, or an animated image, or a video, or a cycling GIF. A plurality of graphical images can be displayed in proximity to the search query term. The graphical image can be a logo or a paid advertisement.

Abstract: A method for searching data from a database is provided. The method comprises steps of determining a data set from the database according to a searching target. The data set includes several documents related to the searching target. Then, a content of each of the documents is analyzed to generate a queue of term frequency. Thereafter, according to the queue of the term frequency, a low frequency keyword candidate list is generated. Furthermore, according to the low frequency keyword candidate list and the queue of the term frequency, an effective keyword list is generated. Then, according to the effective keyword list, a document searching result is determined and the document searching result lists several documents in relation to the searching target in the database.

Abstract: A digital recipe box is disclosed that allows the user to get rid of big bulky recipe books, save space, eliminate the trips to the computer or having your computer in the kitchen and essentially saving time with the added bonus of organizing all recipes and protection of heirloom recipes. Additional features include a weekly/monthly menu to solve the question of what's for dinner. The menu planner includes a grocery list generator. When the grocery list is selected all ingredients necessary to prepare the meal are identified. The grocery list is downloaded to a computer, printed out saving time and additional trips to the grocery store. The device can be taken to a grocery store where it can link with a database in the grocery store to identify where the items to be purchased are located and can indicate the shortest path to all the items.

Abstract: In one general aspect, the application discloses a data visualization method in which at least two retrieved data tables are associated based on a selection of at least one common field. A visualization is displayed for data from a first of the tables and input for query devices is received to filter data for a second of the tables. The displayed visualization for the first table can then be updated in response to the received query device input for the second table based on the created association.

Abstract: In one general aspect, the application discloses a data visualization method that includes accessing data tables and receiving an axis binding definition for a particular visualization that relates values in a first of the tables to sets of fields in a second of the tables. A marking indication can then be received that selects one of the values in the first of the tables, and a set of fields in the second table is accessed based on the marking indication and the axis binding definition. This accessed set of fields is presented in the particular visualization for which the axis binding definition was received.

Abstract: Content may be rendered from a network with the inclusion of supplemental geographic information. A text content from a content item is analyzed in order to make a determination as to one or more localities that are identified or relevant to the text. A geographic presentation may be provided with the rendered content using the determination of the one or more localities.

Abstract: A data handling method combines search capabilities with analytical functionality. The invention provides advantages when dealing with structured documents (such as electronic catalogs, XML documents, text documents, HTML documents, Internet documents, etc.) and other data stored in a computer system. Various embodiments include simplified ways to express search/analysis requests of a data set and also to express results to such requests.

Abstract: A search tool enables users to search for synonyms of, and/or syntactically similar words to search terms that they enter. In at least some embodiments, the search tool is implemented in the context of a web browser for searching web pages. In some embodiments, search terms can be distinctly, visually highlighted on a page, such as a web page, to allow the user to easily identify words that have been found through the search. In at least some embodiments, color coding can be used to uniquely identify exact matches, synonyms and/or syntactically similar words that are identified on a page.

Abstract: Method/system for visualizing biological information. The system receives a user query relating to biological information and determines which database contains related biological information. A database query is sent to the database and the result indicates biological/chemical entities and relations. A network is created based on the result; biological/chemical entities are mapped to network nodes and relations to network connections. A distance matrix indicates a multi-dimensional distance for several pairs of network nodes. A dimensionality reduction function is adjusted based on a research context, to bias the search toward a relevant focus. The number of dimensions in the distance matrix is lowered by the dimensionality reduction function. Neighbours of a selected node are searched (2-18) based on the distance matrix to elucidate a biological role of the selected node. A re-created network is visualised (2-20) based on the adjusted dimensionality reduction function.

Abstract: Under one aspect, an interface program stored on a computer-readable medium causes a computer system with a display device to perform the functions of: accepting search criteria from a user, the search criteria including a free-text query and a domain identifier, the domain identifier identifying a physical location; in response to accepting said search criteria from the user, receiving a set of document-location tuples from a corpus of documents, each document-location tuple satisfying the search criteria from the user; organizing the document-location tuples into a hierarchical graph structure, the hierarchical graph structure representing hierarchical spatial relationships between the physical locations; and displaying a visual representation of the hierarchical graph structure on the display device.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method of operating a software search engine is provided. The method includes populating a software code database from one or more sources of source code. The method also includes receiving a search query for a software code search engine (525). The method further includes searching the software code database with the search query (530). Moreover, the method includes presenting results of the searching (550). Additionally, the method includes tracking reuse of code portions of the software code database. Also, the method includes reporting on usage of code portions of the software code database (560).

Abstract: A method for displaying information about documents in a corpus of documents, the method involving: accepting search criteria including a free text entry query and a domain identifier identifying a domain; in response to accepting the search criteria, identifying a set of documents among the corpus of documents, wherein each document of the set of documents: (1) contains anywhere within the document location-related information that locates that document within the domain; and (2) contains anywhere within the document information that is responsive to the free text entry query, wherein said identified documents are identified by a plurality of document identifiers; displaying a multi-dimensional representation of the domain on the display device; and displaying within the representation of the domain a plurality of visual indicators as representations of the documents identified by the plurality of document identifiers, wherein each visual indicator of the plurality of visual indicators represents a correspon
