Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for an inline editing field for nested website settings. A computing device may be used to process a search query with a search engine and receive results. The search query may include a search for a particular website setting, such as a user profile, account, security, or preference setting that may allow a user to provide input and affect particular user or website data with the website. Determination of the requested website may be performed through a machine learning engine. The machine learning engine may identify the security setting nested in the website through multiple navigations, website flows, and navigations, and may extract processes and flows for use of the setting. An inline editing field may then allow for user input in a search interface that allows for editing the setting without navigation to the website and nested setting.

Abstract: Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: determining user clusters and navigation-type clusters based on multiple information requests, and training facets and corresponding usefulness factor of the facets from the multiple information requests by machine learning. When a user submits a query, the user and the query is respectively mapped with one of the user clusters and the navigation-type clusters, and the query is customized based on the associated pair of clusters. Results of the query are obtained, ranked by usefulness of the facets as determined according to the pair of clusters, and presented to the user.

Abstract: A search system server routes a given query to devices that create a response to the query.

A query reviser creates various different queries that differ from, but are based on, the given query and prior queries submitted by a same user that submitted the given query or location information associated with the user. Portions of content are incorporated into the search results page including content selected based on the given query and based on the various different queries. A visual representation of the various portions of content within the search results page is generated. A display of a client device that submitted the given query is updated to present the search results page including the visual representation of the various portions of content.

The described templates may aid GUI development in different ways depending on the type selected. To generate a template, the screenshot serving as the basis for the template is segmented into groups of pixels corresponding to components of the existing GUI. A type of component is identified for each group of pixels and locations in the screenshot are determined. Based on the identified types of GUI components and determined locations, the user-modifiable template for creating a new GUI is generated.
