Abstract:
A modular search object framework can provide modular search results including sponsored entity search results. The framework includes circuitry that outputs an interactive entity section based on an online search. The interactive section or at least parts of the section may be sponsored by one or more entities. The interactive section includes a plurality of moveable visual objects, such as cards that can be shuffled, flipped, or swiped around. The visual objects and features associated with the objects may be monetized.
Abstract:
A modular search object framework can provide monetization of entity based content. Such a framework can include circuitry configured to manually or automatically link monetized search terms with entities, so that the entities can be monetized without additional bids on the entities. Once the framework generates such links, advertisers may continue to bid on search terms, and create new links or change initial links. Also, through the framework advertisers may bid on an entity that can encompass a set of associated search terms. For example, instead of bidding on a great number of search terms, an advertiser can bid on a few entities that include at least a majority of the associated search terms. With such functionality, the workload of the advertiser can be greatly reduced.
Abstract:
A system stored in a non-transitory medium executable by processor circuitry is provided for generating sponsored verbs and contexts. The system includes interface circuitry for receiving a search query from a user device and query processing circuitry for identifying search results comprising entity search result objects and non-entity search result objects related to the search query. Targeting circuitry determines a set of verb keywords associated with the search result objects and analytics circuitry selects one or more sponsored verbs for at least one entity or non-entity search result. Display logic circuitry is communicatively coupled to the interface circuitry and dynamically generates interface elements for each of the one or more sponsored verbs, and displays, in response to the search query, the interface elements as a sub-component of the at least one entity or non-entity search result.
Abstract:
Based on a user's search query, a search result (such as a sponsored search result) can appear within a graphical user interface (GUI) of a client-side application, and the client-side application can provide a mechanism for user interaction with the search result. The GUI of the client-side application can be a page view of a web browser. The mechanism of the client-side application can occur within the same page view as the search result. For example, the mechanism can include a sub-GUI that extends out from the search result on the same page view as the search result. Also, the search result and/or the sub-GUI can be monetized.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a system and method for displaying search results upon the occurrence or detection of an event and/or time-delay. The present provides a user with the ability to view search results upon satisfaction of an event trigger or specified time delay (e.g., a rule). The disclosed systems and methods enable features that allow a user to link a search query and/or a set or sets of results for the search query to a trigger, whereby upon detection and satisfaction of such trigger, the search (and/or related results) are displayed. Such trigger can be associated with, but not limited to, a calendar event, to-do list item, location, a product or contact person, among other types of event based information events.
