Abstract: A system and method for generating search results includes: receiving a search query with a search term; parsing the search term; determining that at least a portion of the parsed search term is an ambiguous, time-sensitive query; retrieving an intended search term according to a current time of day from a data store when it is determined that at least a portion of the parsed search term is an ambiguous, time-sensitive query; and preparing a search results page such that search results more closely matching the derived intended search term are placed in a most prominent position on the search results page.

Abstract: As provided herein, a list of locales of interest in a location may be sorted into one or more categories. A user performing a search for a locale of interest (e.g., a restaurant) may be identified. A local score may be assigned to the locale of interest based upon a number of local users (e.g., users residing in the location) that perform the search. A second user may be determined to be near the locale of interest. A category of interest may be determined for the second user (e.g., an interest in local non-tourist restaurants). Responsive to the category of interest corresponding to the category and the local score of the locale of interest exceeding an interest threshold, the second user may be provided with a recommendation to go to the locale of interest. The locale of interest may be a local favorite restaurant rather than a tourist trap.

Abstract translation: 如本文所提供的，可以将位置中感兴趣的区域的列表分类为一个或多个类别。 可以识别执行感兴趣的区域（例如，餐馆）的搜索的用户。 可以基于执行搜索的本地用户（例如驻留在该位置的用户）的数量来将本地分数分配给感兴趣的区域。 可以确定第二用户靠近感兴趣的区域。 可以针对第二用户确定兴趣类别（例如，对当地非旅游餐馆的兴趣）。 响应于类别的兴趣类别和超过利益阈值的感兴趣的语言环境的本地分数，可以向第二用户提供去感兴趣的区域的建议。 感兴趣的地区可能是当地最喜欢的餐馆，而不是旅游陷阱。

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for assisting a user of a portable computing device with a touch screen display in formulating a search engine search query. The techniques may assist the user in a more efficient funnel querying approach when compared to conventional funnel querying approaches. In particular, with the techniques, the user can add one or more additional keywords to an initial search query without having to enter the individual letters of the additional keywords. As a result, the techniques enable the user to find relevant search results with less tedium and frustration compared to conventional funnel querying approaches, thereby increasing user satisfaction with the search engine.

Abstract translation: 这里描述了用于在制定搜索引擎搜索查询时协助便携式计算设备的用户具有触摸屏显示的技术。 与传统的渠道查询方法相比，这些技术可以帮助用户进行更有效的漏斗查询方法。 特别地，利用这些技术，用户可以将一个或多个附加关键字添加到初始搜索查询中，而不必输入附加关键字的各个字母。 因此，与传统的渠道查询方法相比，这些技术使得用户能够以较少的乏味和沮丧的方式找到相关的搜索结果，从而增加了用户对搜索引擎的满意度。
