Definitions
- the invention relates generally to computers and computer software. More specifically, this invention relates generally to search engines and the user's interaction with a result set generated thereby.
- Search engines are generally computer programs that are used to access databases of information in response to queries submitted by users. Search engines are commonly used to access a wide variety of databases and sift through the information to find relevant information in response to the search query.
- search engines are also often used to access indexing services that attempt to catalog as many documents as possible from the Internet. Most indexing services typically construct databases of document records by reading documents on the Internet, cataloging important terms and words therefrom, and following any links provided in each document to locate additional documents.
- search engines can be manipulated by document authors through a process known as "spamming", where search terms are inserted into documents in non-visible portions thereof for no other purpose but to increase relative rankings of the documents given by search engines.
- each of a plurality of records in a database is associated with a user-interaction parameter that is used in ordering the records identified in a result set generated in response to a search request.
- the manner in which the user-interaction parameter is configured, updated and utilized in ranking search results can vary in different applications.
- the user-interaction parameter for a given record may be selectively updated in response to detecting the length of time a user accesses a particular record.
- the value of this type of interaction mechanism is based upon the assumption that a user remains on a particular record longer if that particular record has relevant information pertinent to the particular search request.
- the user-interaction parameter for a given record may be selectively updated in response to detecting that the length of time a user accesses a particular record exceeds a pre-determined relevant time- period.
- the value of this type of interaction mechanism is based upon the assumption that if a user remains on a particular record for longer that the pre-determined relevant time period, it is a good indication that the particular record has relevant information pertinent to the particular request.
- the user-interaction parameter for a given record may be selectively updated in response to detecting that a lower-ranked record was accessed for a pre-determined relevant length of time.
- the value of this type of interaction mechanism is based upon the assumption that a higher ranked, but non-accessed record or a higher-ranked record that was not accessed for the pre-determined length of time is less relevant than a later accessed record if the later-accessed record is accessed for the predetermined length of time.

- the embodiments illustrated herein generally operate by enhancing the generation and ordering of search results from a search engine in response to user interaction with the records comprising the search results.
- the database accessed by the search engine is representative of an Internet-base utilized in connection with an indexing algorithm, and storing a plurality of records reflective of hypertext markup language (HTML-compatible documents stored on a network such as the Internet and/or a private network).
- HTML-compatible documents stored on a network such as the Internet and/or a private network.
- each record in the database includes at least an address of an associated document stored on a network, typically in the form of a uniform resource located (URL).
- URL uniform resource located
- the illustrated implementation relies on a "user-interaction parameter" that associates with each record in the database information pertaining to interaction of one or more users with the record.
- the user-interaction parameter associated with each record includes one or more weights used to provide a ranking for a record relative to other records located in response to a search request.
- the relative weights of records in a result set may be the sole basis for ranking and ordering the members of the result set.
- user interaction may be but one component used in ordering search results.
- the primary manner of ordering search results is the perceived relevance of each record in terms of the degree in which each record matches the search request.
- any number of search engine parameters e.g., the number of matching search terms, the proximity of search terms, the placement of search terms, the frequency of occurrence of each search term, etc., may be used.
- User interaction is utilized as an additional or secondary ordering parameter to assist in the ordering of records having like relevancies.
- server-side implementation and user-side implementation.
- a search engine or web server may include tracking functionality consistent with the invention to generally support the two primary operations for use in performing user-interaction based ordering of search results.
- One operation is the initiation of a search request to return a result set that identifies one or more records from the database that matched the search request.
- a second operation is user interaction with the records in the result set, used to track user interaction with such records for the purpose of building a database of user-interaction information for use in ordering future result sets.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the general operations handled by search engine 62 in response to requests from a user operating browser 42.
- a user may initiate and send a search request 72 to search engine 62.
- search engine 62 performs the search, ranks the results and returns a first subset of the results to the user, as represented at 76.
- the subset of results is displayed to the user in browser 42 as represented at 78 and include hypertext links pointing to server for the search engine 62 such that the search engine can detect user selection of a particular link in the subset of results.
- the server automatically forward the user to the requested result document.
- a result cache 64 is typically utilized to store subsets of the results returned in response to a search request, such that the search database does not need to be re-queried whenever a user desires to view other results from a results set.
- the search engine constructs hypertext documents representing the subsets of results, e.g., with each hypertext document including hypertext links to a subset of records identified in response to the search request.
- the search engine Upon re-direction to a particular link, the search engine initiates a clock or alternatively time stamps the link to associate a starting time for the user interacting with a particular document, and further determines the numeric ranking of the accessed link (e.g., search result number 4 out of 25 relevant documents).
- the search engine 62 continues the clock for the link until selection of an alternative link by the user.
- the server Upon selecting an alternative hypertext link from a result set, the server calculates the time differential between re-direction to the previous link and re-direction to the subsequent link to determine substantially the duration of time the record was reviewed. Further, the clock is initiated for the subsequent resulting link for the purpose of obtaining access time data for the subsequent link and the subsequent link's ranking is stored. This is continued until the interaction with the result cache is completed.
- the server evaluates and assigns weights to the user- interaction parameter data associated with each record to assist in ordering subsequent search results.
- the server assigns a relevancy weight for each record that was accessed for longer than a pre-determined time (e.g., five minutes). Further, each record that has a higher ranking number than a "relevant accessed record" (i.e., a record that was accessed for a period of time that exceeded the pre-determined time criteria) and was either not accessed or was accessed and did not meet the pre-determined relevancy time criteria, may be degraded in the rankings or otherwise would get a non-relevant weight parameter. These parameters are stored in the search database 63.
- search engine 62 periodically updates the user interaction information stored in search database 63. As a consequence, over time, it is anticipated that search database 63 will develop a more useful indication of the longest accessed, and presumably most relevant documents represented by the records in the search database.
- the user-interaction parameter likewise may be implemented through a user- based application, such as the user's browser.
- a computer program 90 on the user's browser could be utilized to track user interaction with records, with the computer program providing notifications to the search engine on a periodic basis.
- This program could be resident on the user's computer or could be integrated into the browser, e.g., as a plug in or customization thereof, or downloaded to the user's computer.
- a user may initiate and send a search request 72 to search engine 62.
- search engine 62 performs the search, ranks the results and returns a first subset of the results to the user, as represented at 76.
- the subset of results is displayed to the user in browser 42 as represented at 78 and includes hypertext links to the relevant documents.
- the user's browser 42 Upon selection of a particular link, the user's browser 42 initiates an internal timing device or clock, and determines the numeric ranking of the accessed link (e.g., search result number 4 out of 25 relevant documents).
- the browser Upon the user navigating away from the link, for example by clicking the "back" icon, clicking to another link, clicking home, or closing the browser, the browser stops the clock and stores the duration of time the record was accessed. This is continued until the interaction with the result cache 64 is completed.
- the browser thus stores user interaction data for each record accessed in the result cache.
- the interaction data consists of the duration of time the record was accessed and the ranking of the one or more documents accessed in the result cache.
- the browser If the user clicks a link in an accessed document, the browser initiates the internal timing device. Upon the user navigating away from the link or some time thereafter, the duration of time this secondary record was accessed is determined and the browser uploads the secondary record identification and time duration information to the server.
- the server determines whether the secondary matches a result of the result cache 64. If so, the duration of time this secondary record was accessed is compared to a pre-determined relevant time period of interaction. And, an interaction data set is created for this secondary record to increase or decrease its relevancy weight upon subsequent search queries.
- the browser Periodically, such as at the end of the user's interaction with the result cache, the browser notifies the server of the interaction data.
- the server evaluates and assigns weights to the user- interaction parameter data associated with each record to assist in ordering subsequent search results.
- the server assigns a relevancy weight for each record that was accessed for longer than a pre-determined time (e.g., five minutes).
- each record that has a higher ranking number than a "relevant accessed record” i.e., a record that was accessed for a period of time that exceeded the pre-determined time criteria
- a "relevant accessed record” i.e., a record that was accessed for a period of time that exceeded the pre-determined time criteria
- was either not accessed or was accessed and did not meet the pre-determined relevancy time criteria may be degraded in the rankings or otherwise would get a non-relevant weight parameter.
- Search engine 62 periodically updates the user interaction information stored in search database 63. As a consequence, over time, it is anticipated that search database 63 will develop a more useful indication of the longest accessed, and presumably most relevant documents represented by the records in the search database.
- search engine techniques described herein may also be used locally for a given user or a group of specific users, rather than relying on the previous interactions by all users of a search engine.
- search engine may be implemented on an internal network, thus enabling, for example, a group of employees having related job functions to be the sole users through which user interaction data is tracked. Other manners of selecting a relevant set of users from which to obtain relevant user interaction information may also be used in the alternative.
