Abstract: A method and apparatus for altering a page presenting search results is provided. The query dispatcher receives one or more query terms. Based on the query terms, the search engine generates a set of search results and advertisements. A parallel search dispatched by entertainment rating and selection engine generates a set of content items based on the one or more query terms and an additional one or more constraint terms. The entertainment item rating and selection engine selects a content item from the set of content items. The selection may be random, based on past user responses, or responses of users belonging to particular clusters. The entertainment item injector then replaces one of the search results or advertisements with the content item. The content item is presented to the user on a search results page. The content item contains a feedback mechanism to collect user responses. The entertainment item rating and selection engine then derives the quality of the entertainment item from the collected user responses.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for handling remote calls, for example, in a servicing system having a plurality of operatively coupled service instances, wherein a request is received by a service instance which identifies the request as being associated with a non-state-changing operation or a state-changing operation. When the operation is identified as being non-state-changing then request may be processed by the receiving service instance. When the operation is identified as being state-changing then request may also be provided to and processed by other service instances.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system of performing a current filesystem backup with respect to a previous filesystem backup using directorywise hardlinking for a computer filesystem. In an exemplary embodiment, the method and system include (1) identifying all largest unchanged subtrees in the previous filesystem backup with respect to a current computer filesystem and (2) creating directorywise hardlinks in the current filesystem backup to the all largest unchanged subtrees. In an exemplary embodiment, the creating includes for each of the largest unchanged subtrees, forming a first pointer from the current filesystem backup to the each of the largest unchanged subtrees. In a further embodiment, the creating includes for each of the largest unchanged subtrees, establishing a second pointer from the each of the largest unchanged subtrees to a directory in the current filesystem backup that corresponds to the first pointer.

Abstract: Techniques that support trail-based exploration by a user of a repository of documents are described herein. In one embodiment, trail definition data that specifies a trail is received. The trail includes an ordered series of waypoints including a trailhead, intermediate waypoints, and one or more trailends. In some embodiments, deadends may also be defined in the trial. A particular waypoint in the ordered series of waypoints is established as a current waypoint. Search terms can be received from a user to cause a search to be performed. It is then determined whether the search satisfies matching criteria associated with a waypoint that immediately follows the current waypoint in the ordered series of waypoints. If so, the user advances to the next waypoint. Otherwise, the user remains at the current waypoint. Finally, if a trailend is reached, then an action such as rewarding the user in some way may be performed.
