摘要： A method of processing information related to documents in a collection of linked documents. For each respective document in all or a portion of said collection, one or more auxiliary page ranking vectors associated with the respective document are quantized. A search query comprising one or more search terms is received. Using a document index that represents said collection of linked documents, a plurality of documents is identified. Each document in the identified plurality of documents includes at least one term that matches a search term in the search query. For one or more respective documents in the plurality of documents, one or more of the auxiliary page ranking vectors associated with the respective document are decoded. The plurality of documents are then ranked using the decoded auxiliary page vectors.

摘要： A search system monitors the input of a search query by a user. Before the user finishes entering the search query, the search system identifies and sends a portion of the query as a partial query to the search engine. Based on the partial query, the search engine creates a set of predicted queries. This process may take into account prior queries submitted by a community of users, and may take into account a user profile. The predicted queries are be sent back to the user for possible selection. The search system may also cache search results corresponding to one or more of the predicted queries in anticipation of the user selecting one of the predicted queries. The search engine may also return at least a portion of the search results corresponding to one or more of the predicted queries.

摘要翻译： 搜索系统监视用户对搜索查询的输入。 在用户完成输入搜索查询之前，搜索系统将查询的一部分作为部分查询识别并发送到搜索引擎。 基于部分查询，搜索引擎创建一组预测查询。 此过程可能会考虑用户社区提交的先前查询，并可能会考虑用户个人资料。 预测的查询将被发送回用户以进行可能的选择。 搜索系统还可以缓存对应于一个或多个预测查询的搜索结果，预期用户选择预测查询之一。 搜索引擎还可以返回对应于一个或多个预测查询的搜索结果的至少一部分。

摘要： A method and system of modulating search result relevancy use various types of user browsing activities. In particular, a client assistant residing in a client computer monitors movements of a user controlled pointer in a web browser, e.g., when the pointer moves into a predefined region and when it moves out of the predefined region. A server then determines a relevancy value between an informational item associated with the predefined region and a search query according to the pointer hover period. When preparing a new search result responsive to a search query, the server re-orders identified informational items in accordance with their respective relevancy values such that more relevant items appear before less relevant ones. The server also uses the relevancy values to determine and/or adjust the content of an one-box result associated with a search query.

摘要： A third party website provides a search interface to a general search engine. A site profile of the third party website describes various topics, keywords, or domains that are potentially relevant or of interest to users who access the third party website. The topics are associated with a topical directory, with domains associated with each topic; the domains in a given topic are given various weightings. When a search is submitted to the general search engine from the third party website via the search interface, the general search engine uses the site profile to customize the search results. The search results are customized by weighting the ranking of documents from websites associated with the topics in the site profile. The site profile can be manually or automatically constructed.

摘要翻译： 第三方网站向一般搜索​​引擎提供搜索界面。 第三方网站的网站简介描述了访问第三方网站的用户可能相关或感兴趣的各种主题，关键字或域。 主题与主题目录相关联，域与每个主题相关联; 给定主题中的域被赋予各种权重。 当通过搜索界面从第三方网站向普通搜索引擎提交搜索时，一般搜索引擎使用站点配置文件自定义搜索结果。 搜索结果通过对站点配置文件中与主题相关的网站的文档排名进行加权来定制。 站点配置文件可以手动或自动构建。

摘要： A system and method is disclosed in which a ranking function for a set of document rank values is iteratively solved with respect to a set of linked documents until a first stability condition is satisfied. After such condition is satisfied, some of the ranks will have converged. The ranking function is modified to take into account these converged ranks so as to reduce the ranking function's computation cost. The modified ranking function is then solved until a second stability condition is satisfied. After such condition is satisfied more of the ranks will have converged. The ranking function is again modified and process continues until complete.

摘要： A search engine provides personalized rankings of search results. A user interest profile identifies topics of interest to a user. Each topic is associated with one or more sites, and a boost value, which can be used to augment an information retrieval score of any document from the site. Search results from any search are provided to the user, with a variable control of the ranking of the results. The results can be ranked by their unboosted information retrieval score, thus reflecting no personalization, or by their fully or partially boosted information retrieval scores. This allows the user to selectively control how their interests affect the ranking of the documents.

摘要翻译： 搜索引擎提供搜索结果的个性化排名。 用户兴趣简档识别用户感兴趣的主题。 每个主题都与一个或多个站点相关联，并且可以使用增强值来增加站点中任何文档的信息检索分数。 通过对结果排名的可变控制，向用户提供来自任何搜索的搜索结果。 结果可以通过其未启动的信息检索分数进行排名，从而反映出没有个性化，或者完全或部分提升的信息检索分数。 这允许用户选择性地控制他们的兴​​趣如何影响文档的排名。

摘要： A set of ordered predicted completion strings are presented to a user as the user enters text in a text entry box (e.g., a browser or a toolbar). The predicted completion strings can be in the form of URLs or query strings. The ordering may be based on any number of factors (e.g., a query's frequency of submission from a community of users). URLs can be ranked based on an importance value of the URL. Privacy is taken into account in a number of ways, such as using a previously submitted query only when more than a certain number of unique requestors have made the query. The sets of ordered predicted completion strings is obtained by matching a fingerprint value of the user's entry string to a fingerprint to table map which contains the set of ordered predicted completion strings.

摘要翻译： 当用户在文本输入框（例如，浏览器或工具栏）中输入文本时，将一组有序的预测完成字符串呈现给用户。 预测的完成字符串可以是URL或查询字符串的形式。 排序可以基于任何数量的因素（例如，查询从用户社区提交的频率）。 URL可以根据URL的重要性值进行排名。 通过多种方式考虑隐私，例如仅当超过一定数量的唯一请求者进行查询时才使用以前提交的查询。 通过将用户的条目串的指纹值与包含一组有序预测完成字符串的指纹到表格映射相匹配来获得有序预测完成字符串的集合。
