Abstract: Methods, systems, algorithms, and media are provided for disambiguating entities present in a received search query. Lists of categories from semi-structured data from external sites as well as internal sources are used to detect if ambiguity exists in an entity within the search query. Multiple senses or categories of the ambiguous entity are determined by ascertaining the primary intent of an entity extracted from a main term of a document. The probability of each sense is calculated by computing a total amount of traffic received for each of the senses of the ambiguous entity. The sense with the highest amount of computed traffic is the most probable determined sense.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that return query completions are provided. A user of a computing device like a mobile phone may enter a prefix. In turn, the prefix and location information associated with the device are transmitted to a server device. The server device receives the prefix and location information. The prefix and the location information are matched with names and locations of entities stored in a database connected to the server device. The server device transmits query completion data to the mobile device. The query completion data includes one or more names that complete the received prefix. The names provided by the server device may be associated with entities that are within a threshold radius of the location information.

Abstract: Methods, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for identifying and presenting rich related sites for task-oriented search queries. Upon receipt of a search query input by a user, one or more query logs are analyzed to determine if the search query is a related to a task being performed by the user. If the query is determined to be a task-oriented search query, search results are identified, as is one or more Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) related to a particular search result. The related URL is presented to the user in association with the particular search result. Additional controls, e.g., search tools that facilitate querying of those URLs determined to be relevant to a particular search result, may also be provided to aid the user in performing the task at hand.

Abstract: Methods and computer-readable media are provided for displaying a target search result and relevant information on a search results page in response to a user-inputted query on a search page. The target search result and relevant information are identified in a database as having been previously determined to be most relevant to the query, and may be based on past user behavior, for example. The relevant information may include functional tools that include input boxes allowing for the user to interact with a webpage associated with the target search result via the search results page. Once the target search result and relevant information have been determined, the search results page is displayed.

Abstract: Computer-readable media and computerized methods for identifying candidate points on a graphical depiction of relative popularity of an entity (e.g., entertainer, sports team, and the like) are provided. Points on the graphical depiction are ranked based on a number of user-submitted web queries that reference the entity that are received during a particular time frame. Peak points and slope values (i.e., derived from an angle of inclination of inclines on the graphical depiction) may be captured by analyzing movements in the rank of an entity over time. An algorithmic process may then be applied to the peak points and slope values to determine points of interest of the entity's popularity, such as the highest-ranked periods and/or dramatic positive movements in rank of the entity. These points of interest are selected as candidate points and are surfaced as icons on a visual representation of the graphical depiction.

Abstract: User locality information can be used to improve various aspects of search results pages. Queries can be suggested based on the user location while excluding common query suggestions that involve an unrelated geographic entity. Deeplinks can also be modified to include location based suggestions. Additionally, results for specialized searches such as travel searches can be improved by employing user locality information.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, computer systems, and computing devices method of facilitating presentation of alternative query suggestions. The method includes referencing an initial query having a plurality of terms. A term(s) to remove from the initial query is identified, for example, based at least on a number of times the term(s) occur in previous queries. The initial query is modified by removing the term(s) from the initial query. Thereafter, the modified query is used to identify an alternative query suggestion(s) that includes at least one term that matches at least one term of the modified query.
