Abstract: Method, system, and programs for providing enhanced search term suggestions. A set of incomplete search terms indicating a sequence of search terms entered may be received. It may be detected that the sequence contains a descending phase followed by an ascending phase. In response to the detection, a pair of misinput term and corresponding corrected term may be identified in the set of incomplete search terms. A probability with respect to the misinput term is a misinput of the corresponding corrected term may be determined based on a historical context. Using such a probability, an incomplete search term containing the misinput term may be corrected. One or more proposed search terms may be determined based on the corrected incomplete search term for suggestion to the user.

Abstract: Briefly, embodiments of methods and/or systems of providing relevant and diverse recommendations are disclosed. For one embodiment, as an example, a system may extract structured and/or semi-structured parameters from web resources obtained from interaction logs comprising records of browsing sessions. Content from extracted parameters may be compared, using an ontology, to find relationships among web resources and query resources.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for selecting advertisements based on local intent. Local intent may reflect whether a search query should receive results and advertisements that are geographically specific. The local intent may be determined using probabilistic models that analyze historical searches to determine which search terms tend to have local intent.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for generating descriptions of matching resources in a manner that takes into account the kind, quality, and relevance of the available sources of information about the matching resources. For example, after the search engine identifies matching resources based on the query terms, the search engine determines the kinds of available sources of information about each matching resource. For each matching resource, based on the kinds of available sources of information about the matching resource, one of a plurality of processes is selected to generate a description for the matching resource. Using the content-sensitive description generation techniques described herein, a single result set may include abstracts that were generated using several different processes, where the difference in process corresponds to a difference in the kind, quality, and relevance of the available sources of information about each matching resource.

Abstract translation: 提供了以考虑可用的关于匹配资源的信息源的种类，质量和相关性的方式产生匹配资源的描述的技术。 例如，在搜索引擎基于查询词语识别匹配资源之后，搜索引擎确定关于每个匹配资源的可用信息源的种类。 对于每个匹配资源，基于关于匹配资源的可用信息源的种类，选择多个进程之一来生成匹配资源的描述。 使用本文描述的内容敏感描述生成技术，单个结果集可以包括使用几个不同进程生成的抽象，其中过程的差异对应于可用的信息源的种类，质量和相关性的差异 每个匹配资源。

Abstract: An apparatus includes an enclosure defining an interior space and at least one server-rack port configured to engage one or more of racks such that one or more servers installed in each rack are contiguous to the interior space. The enclosure is inside of a room and includes at least one stability control unit at the bottom of the enclosure. Each server includes a fan that draws air from the interior space into the server and expels the air outside of the enclosure into the room. The apparatus also includes a mixing chamber that is contiguous to the enclosure. The mixing chamber includes a first set of one or more dampers that are contiguous to natural air outside of the room and a second set of one or more dampers that are contiguous with air in the room.

Abstract: A first cluster of web objects is identified from a click-through data structure. The click-through data structure can organize web objects into clusters based on query results of web objects selected by a user. Also, a second cluster of web objects can be identified from a metadata data structure. The metadata data structure can organize web objects into clusters based on metadata associated with the web objects. An output set of web objects is selected, in real time, from the identifier clusters.

Abstract: Methods, systems and programming for providing query suggestions based on user feedback. In one example, a prefix of a query is first received. An input including a prefix of a query is received from a user in a search session. A plurality of query suggestions are fetched based on the prefix of the query. Rankings of the plurality of query suggestions are determined based, at least in part, on the user's previous interactions in the search session with respect to at least one of the plurality of query suggestions. The at least one of the plurality of query suggestions has been previously provided to the user in the search session. The plurality of query suggestions are provided in the search session based on their rankings as a response to the input.
