Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a geo-search engine capability for large point-of-interest record datasets are disclosed. These methods and systems employ a Partition-by-Query index containing key-values pairs corresponding to keys reflecting concept-ordered geo-search phrases and values reflecting ordered lists of point-of-interest record references that are responsive to the concept-ordered geo-search phrase in a corresponding key. A large Partition-by-Query index may be partitioned across multiple servers depending on the size of the index, or the size of the index may be reduced by compressing query-references pairs into clusters. The methods and systems described herein may provide suggestions and spelling corrections to the user, thereby improving the user's geo-search engine experience while meeting user expectations for geo-search quality and responsiveness.

Abstract: A system for the support and management of search for documents is presents. The system includes knowledge-database, query interface and communication to a database of documents to be searched. Information generated during a search session is collected by the system and is added to the knowledge-database. The information is ranked automatically according to the usage of that information by the user. During successive search session, or during search made by other users, the system uses the knowledge-database to support the users with keywords, queries and reference to documents.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of answering questions. A word problem is received into a user interface of a question-answering (QA) system operating on a computerized device having a processor. The word problem comprises a question and contextual phrases providing context for the question. The question is parsed from the word problem, using a parsing function of the processor. The contextual phrases are parsed from the word problem, using the parsing function of the processor. A type is identified for the question, using a typing function of the processor. A phrase is identified in the question having the same type as the question. A reformulated question is produced by replacing the phrase in the question having the same type as the question with a contextual phrase. The reformulated question is input to the QA system. Answers to the reformulated question are received from the QA system.

Abstract: Code is injected into a web page loaded by an Internet browsing application. A search control to accept Internet search input is presented within an Internet browsing application. The search control visually covers at least a portion of a content display area of the Internet browsing application. A slider search control may be presented by automatically sliding the slider search control into the content display area. The presentation of a lightbox search control may include shading, darkening, dimming, blurring, or opaquing the content display area outside of the lightbox search control. The presentation of the search control may occur in response to a period of user inactivity, an amount of page scrolling, or a percentage of page scrolling. The search control receives input corresponding to a search query, a tracking code is combined with the received input, and the combination is communicated to a search engine.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that return query completions are provided. A user of a computing device like a mobile phone may enter a prefix. In turn, the prefix and location information associated with the device are transmitted to a server device. The server device receives the prefix and location information. The prefix and the location information are matched with names and locations of entities stored in a database connected to the server device. The server device transmits query completion data to the mobile device. The query completion data includes one or more names that complete the received prefix. The names provided by the server device may be associated with entities that are within a threshold radius of the location information.

Abstract: Context data can be used to determine the current context and/or to predict the future context of a user. When the disclosed technology knows of the user's likely context, it can prepare for object recognition (e.g., image recognition, speech recognition, etc.) by (downloading and) locally storing (i.e., holding) object data related to the context. This allows for the object recognition to be performed locally and for any additional information about the object to be provided without communication over a network, thereby reducing resources such as time, cost, and processing power. If, however, the object data related to the context is not available locally, such object data can still be downloaded from a server/cloud. In some embodiments, if a likely future context is predicted and the object data related to that future context is not available locally, the object data can be downloaded from a server/cloud prior to the future context.

Abstract translation: 上下文数据可用于确定当前上下文和/或预测用户的未来上下文。 当所公开的技术知道用户可能的上下文时，它可以通过（下载和）本地存储（即，保持）与上下文相关的对象数据来准备对象识别（例如，图像识别，语音识别等）。 这允许在本地执行对象识别以及关于要提供的对象的任何附加信息而不通过网络进行通信，从而减少诸如时间，成本和处理能力的资源。 然而，如果与上下文相关的对象数据在本地不可用，则此类对象数据仍然可以从服务器/云下载。 在一些实施例中，如果预测可能的未来上下文，并且与该未来上下文相关的对象数据在本地不可用，则可以在将来上下文之前从服务器/云下载对象数据。

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying answer boxes for presentation to a user. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of, while receiving an input entered in a search engine query input field by a first user, and before the first user has submitted the input as a search request, obtaining content for an answer box for the input and presenting the answer box to the first user. The answer box can be an answer box associated with a dominant query for the input, or can be an answer box identified from historical answer box data for the input.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method implemented by a computer for searching in a plurality of data sets. In the method a search query is received and a partial quantity having terms similar to or identical to the search term is derived from a reference quantity. A similarity measure to the search term and the probability of the occurrence of the term is then determined for each term. Furthermore, a weighted distribution depending on the term is applied to the terms, and a modified probability is determined for the term. The data sets are further evaluated with respect to the relevance thereof to the search query, and at least one partial data set quantity is output as a function of the relevance value thereof. The invention further relates to a search engine for performing said method.
