Abstract:
Systems and methods for searching digital content, such as digital images, are disclosed. A method includes receiving a first search constraint and generating search results based on the first search constraint. A search constraint includes search values or criteria. The search results include a ranked set of digital images. A second search constraint and a weight value associated with the second search constraint are received. The search results are updated based on the second search constraint and the weight value. The updated search results are provided to a user. Updating the search results includes determining a ranking (or a re-ranking) for each item of content included in the search results based on the first search constraint, the second search constraint, and the weight value. Re-ranking the search results may further be based on a weight value associated with the first search constraint, such as a default or maximum weight value.
