摘要： Computerized methods and systems for generating a URL-addressable Web page utilizing user-defined search parameters are provided. User-defined search parameters are packaged together as a search macro and assigned a URL. When a user accesses the Web page associated with the assigned URL, s/he is permitted to specify a search query and any search results returned in response thereto will be tailored in accordance with the user-defined search parameters, even though such search parameters are not input as part of the search query. The present invention further provides users with the opportunity to readily share packaged search parameters with other users by simply communicating the URL assigned to a particular search macro.

摘要： The subject disclosure pertains to anonymous network interaction. More specifically, mechanisms are provided to ensure anonymity with respect network interaction such that third parties are unable to determine the source and/or intent of communications. Accordingly, entities can anonymize all outgoing and/or incoming data packets so as to mitigate outside entities from learning about information being sought and/or provided. For example, a user or corporation can employ an anonymizer with respect to web searching so that outside entities are not able to determine what information is attempted to be accessed and by whom.

摘要翻译： 主题公开涉及匿名网络交互。 更具体地，提供机制以确保与网络交互相关的匿名性，使得第三方不能确定通信的源和/或意图。 因此，实体可以对所有输出和/或输入数据分组进行匿名化，以便减轻外部实体不需要寻求和/或提供的信息。 例如，用户或公司可以使用关于网页搜索的匿名器，使得外部实体不能确定尝试访问哪些信息以及由谁访问。

摘要： A method and system is provided for automatically displaying a search-refinement user interface based on structure identified in search results in response to unstructured search queries. A list of search results obtained by a search engine is analyzed to determined whether a structure threshold is satisfied. If the threshold is met, then search-refinement options are displayed on a common display with the search results to allow the user to filter the search results according to the structure identified in the results. The user interface can receive filter and sort requests from the user to further refine the search results based on overlapping schema attributes or other shared-structure elements identified in the search results.

摘要： A system that can analyze a multi-dimensional input thereafter establishing a search query based upon extracted features from the input. In a particular example, an image can be used as an input to a search mechanism. Pattern recognition and image analysis can be applied to the image thereafter establishing a search query that corresponds to features extracted from the image input. The system can also facilitate indexing multi-dimensional searchable items thereby making them available to be retrieved as results to a search query. More particularly, the system can employ text analysis, pattern and/or speech recognition mechanisms to extract features from searchable items. These extracted features can be employed to index the searchable items.

摘要： A system that employs an explicitly and/or implicitly trained model in order to return entity-specific computer-based search results is provided. The innovation can provide for a customized search model that focuses search in connection with achieving information that is meaningful with respect to goals of an entity. The model can be used to modify a search query in accordance with a goal of the entity or to generate the search query thereby returning meaningful and/or targeted results to the user. The system can automatically gather entity-related data thereafter determining or inferring a goal as well as training the model. Moreover, the system can selectively configure (e.g., order, rank, filter) and render results to a user based upon the model.

摘要： The innovation provides for a computer search to become an action that has direct nexus to an inferred (or determined) goal of an individual. The goal can be inferred or determined from any number of context/state factors. The innovation can query a user to determine user context and state factors by which a goal, objective or intent can be automatically established. The innovation can also utilize machine learning/reasoning to establish the goal of a user based upon historical, statistical and/or other probabilistic analysis. Still further, the innovation can monitor a user's context and state thereafter dynamically journaling and logging the criterion by which the user's objective(s) can be established. Once a goal is established, a goal-based search can be automatically conducted thereafter prompting for an action based upon a subset of the search results.

摘要： Architecture that facilitates online advertising taking on characteristics of a commodities market approach to purchasing advertising space, options for ad space and a futures market for online ad space. Available advertising space is identified and aggregated, and subsets of the aggregated ad space are offered for purchase using a commodities market-based approach. The architecture facilitates revenue-sharing paradigms, coupon delivery, targeted advertising, point-of-sale transactions, inventory control, just-in-time delivery of ads, content and product/services, value-based advertising models, etc. The architecture comprises an aggregation component that aggregates advertisement space information associated with online advertisements, and a transaction component that facilitates transacting subsets of the aggregated advertisement space information to bidders as a function of supply and demand. The aggregation component receives information about online advertising space that is now available, that will become available in the future, and that is predicted by prediction analysis to become available in the future. Advertisements and/or ad space can be specified based on dynamic sensing of contextual cues.

摘要： A method and system is provided for automatically presenting search results from user-created search verticals or search macros in response to general web-search queries. A general web-search query is received and a set of user-created search verticals is initially identified using keywords contained in the query. A subset of target user-created search verticals is identified using factors such as whether the user has installed a tab for a particular vertical in a customized user interface, whether the search query has been used in a particular search vertical with a high frequency, and an overall or query-specific customer satisfaction rating for a particular search vertical. The search results can be presented as inline answers or inline suggestions on a common display with general search results obtained for the general search query.
