摘要： The present invention is directed to a method and system for refining a search to locate information about an item based on predetermined search categories. More specifically, the method and system dynamically display search categories based on relevancy information of a search result. A search category generally includes a set of category values which are used to filter the data entries into a subset of the search result. The data entries are returned after searching on data stores with a search query provided by a user and then the ranks of the returned data entries are determined based on a degree of relevancy with the search query. The data entries are displayed in order of the ranks and the set of category values for a search category are displayed to reflect the ranks of the data entries.

摘要： Techniques are described for using electronic communications to enable users to supply data to an online service, such as a fee-based online search functionality service that provides user-specific data searching capabilities. The electronic communications may, for example, be email communications, and may be used to supply data in various manners, such as based on the communications' body contents and/or file attachments. In addition, users may configure various types of data analysis or manipulation operations to be performed on data supplied via electronic communications. After a user's data has been supplied to and optionally manipulated by the online service in a configured manner, that user (or others to whom that user provides access) may access that data from the online service in various manners, including by using one or more data retrieval access interfaces that are distinct from an electronic communication address used to supply the data.
