    Abstract: An online system receives a search query from a user. In response to the request, the online system obtains search results matching the search query and identifies a set of attributes describing a context of the search query. The online system generates a data structure that includes a plurality of search coefficients. The search coefficients are selected based on the identified set of attributes. Some of the search coefficients have conflicting values. The online system traverses the data structure to identify the search coefficients having conflicting values. For each search coefficient having conflicting values, the online system resolves conflicts and determines a value of the search coefficient. The online system ranks search results based on the resolved values of the search coefficients.

    Abstract: An online system stores documents for access by users. The online system also stores query independent information about the documents. Query independent features include data that can be used to score or rank a document independent of any terms entered as a search query. The online system periodically determines whether the values of query independent features have changed, such as by checking activity logs. The online system updates records of query independent features accordingly, and sends information about the updated records to an enterprise search platform for re-indexing. When a user sends a search query to the online system, the enterprise search platform determines whether documents are relevant to the query based on the document contents and the query independent features associated with the documents.
