摘要:
Methods of providing a document relevance score to a document on a network are disclosed. Computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions for performing a method of providing a document relevance score to a document on a network are also disclosed. Further, computing systems containing at least one application module, wherein the at least one application module comprises application code for performing methods of providing a document relevance score to a document on a network are disclosed.

Documents are intelligently deleted from an index of crawled documents based on link and parent node information recorded from the crawl. A document visited during a first crawl may not be navigated to during a second crawl because of an error and the present invention verifies whether the document has been deleted. The present invention also prevents the document from being deleted when it is referenced by another document, indicating that the document is still a valid document.
摘要:
A method and system for the processing and maintenance of electronic information retrieved from electronic documents stored on a computer network. The gatherer program of the present invention employs a crawler to crawl a portion of the computer network to retrieve electronic documents found during the crawl and that meet a set of crawl restriction rules. Some or all of the data contained in the copies of electronic documents is then stored in a data store such as an index. The invention keeps the data in the data store current by accepting notifications of when a previously retrieved document has changed. The notifications are sent by a notification source that monitors a space containing the previously retrieved documents for changes occurring after the document was last retrieved by the gatherer program. Because the document is being monitored for changes by the notification source, the gatherer program only needs to retrieve the document again when the gatherer program has been notified that the document has changed. If the notification source experiences a discontinuity, such as a system shutdown, the notification source requests that the gatherer perform an initialization crawl to retrieve any documents that changed while the notification source was not operational.

Embodiments are configured to provide information based on a user query. In an embodiment, a system includes a search component having a ranking component that can be used to rank search results as part of a query response. In one embodiment, the ranking component includes a ranking algorithm that can use the length of documents returned in response to a search query to rank search results.

A query pipeline for an enterprise search system is configurable by a user of the system. A user may create rules for custom query transformation and parallel query generation, federation of queries, mixing of results and application of display layouts to the received search results. A user interface (UI) assists a user in configuring the search pipeline. For example, a user may enter condition action rules for queries that affect how a query is transformed, how parallel queries are generated, how queries are federated, how search results are ranked and displayed, how rules are ordered and the like.
摘要:
Technologies are described herein for ranking documents with social tags. A number ranking feature containing a number of times a document was tagged is received. A textual property ranking feature containing a union of each social tag associated with the document is also received. The number ranking feature is transformed into a static input value. Further, the textual property ranking feature is transformed into a dynamic input value. A document rank for the document is determined by inputting the static input value and/or the dynamic input value into a ranking function.

Search results obtained from a ranking model are re-ranked based on user-configured ranking rules. For example, a user may desire to: place certain search results at a top/bottom of a ranking of search results; remove some search results; and/or adjust a ranking of some of the search results. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows a user to configure the ranking rules (e.g. enter key/value restrictions and to set a boost value) and to preview an application of one or more of the ranking rules. Query language operators that follow a standard operator syntax are created based on the inputs (e.g. a ranking query operator is created that may include multiple user supplied parameters). The user may also specify a portion of the results from which statistics (e.g. standard deviation, average score) are calculated. For example, a user may specify to calculate statistics for the top N number results.
摘要:
A query received from a user is directed to a particular search application (e.g. an Enterprise search portal) that is associated with a result source from which to retrieve results. The received query may be federated to additional result sources when the received query is determined to be a popular query in a result source. Query logs associated with the additional result sources are analyzed to determine when a query is popular as compared to the original result source. The query may be altered before being executed that uses one or more of the additional result sources. When the query (altered/unaltered) is determined to be popular for any of the additional result sources as compared to the original result source, the query is executed using that additional result source.
摘要:
Embodiments are configured to provide a summary of information associated with one or more search results. In an embodiment, a system includes a summary generator that can be configured to provide a summary of information including one or more snippets associated with a search term or search terms. The system includes a ranking component that can be used to rank snippets and the ranked snippets can be used when generating a summary that includes one or more ranked snippets. In one embodiment, the system can be configured to include one or more filters that can be used to filter snippets and the filtered snippets can be used when generating a summary. Other embodiments are available.
摘要:
An alert search mechanism is used with search engines such as a crawler to search for desired documents and/or resources. Particular documents are found by using search queries. The search mechanism track values of a set of relevant properties in queries. Whenever a document is searched for by the system, the values of these set of properties are matched with the old value. If there is no match, this is an indication that the document has changed.
