摘要： A client application installed on end user computers generates metadata from the content of web pages visited by end users and provides the metadata to a search engine. When an end user visits a web page, the end user's computer downloads and displays the web page to the end user. The client application may simultaneously access the web page content and generate this metadata in the form of a content signature of the web page from the web page content. The client application then provides the content signature to a search engine. The search engine may employ content signatures to identify new web pages to crawl and index. Additionally, the search engine may employ content signatures to identify changes to web pages and determine the crawl frequency of web pages.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer-storage media for improving the freshness, or the apparent freshness, of search results are described. In an embodiment, the first portion of search results presented on a search results page are based on responsiveness to the search query and a second portion of results describe only recently published documents that are responsive to the search query. In an embodiment, a more recent version of the document, which is not directly used to determine responsiveness, is used to build the caption for a search result. Another way to make search results appear fresh is to include a publication time within the search result caption. In one embodiment, the publication time is generated by calculating a point in time between when a document is first added to a search index and the previous time the search engine visited the site where the document was found.

摘要： Methods, systems, and media are provided for delivering clustered search results for recent and non-recent events by maintaining the identification (ID) numbers of the respective clustered documents beyond the “fresh” life span of the clustered documents. When clusters are formed according to similar content, an ID number and associated attributes are assigned to each of the clusters. This provides a mechanism to track and retrieve the respective clusters for subsequent delivery of search results. The respective ID numbers of the clusters are maintained, even after the documents are no longer considered “fresh.” These similar-content clusters are further subdivided according to publication date. This provides individual subdivided clusters for similar content events that occurred at different time spans, which are delivered along with individual non-clustered search results in a SERP.

摘要： Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for updating a search index with new uniform resource locators (URLs) and spiking URLs with increased user interest. History data, provided from browser applications residing on users' computers that indicate URLs accessed by the users, is parsed to identify new/previously unknown URLs. The history data also indicates URLs in which there is increased interest based on a number of recent hits as compared to an average number of hits determined over time. Author postings of new URLs to social networking sites and a quality rating of the authors may also be used to identify and filter new URLs. Search indexes are updated with the new and spiking URL data. As such, lag time between posting of new URLs and spiking of URL interest and inclusion of this data in a search index is greatly decreased.

摘要翻译： 提供了方法，系统和计算机可读介质，用于使用新的统一资源定位符（URL）更新搜索索引和增加用户兴趣的加标URL。 由驻留在用户计算机上的用于指示用户访问的URL的浏览器应用程序提供的历史数据将被解析，以识别新的/以前未知的URL。 与根据随时间确定的平均击球次数相比，历史数据还指示基于最近命中数的兴趣增加的URL。 社交网站的新URL的作者发布和作者的品质评级也可用于识别和过滤新的URL。 搜索索引将使用新的和加标的URL数据进行更新。 因此，新的URL发布之间的滞后时间和URL兴趣的尖峰以及将这些数据包含在搜索索引中的时间大大降低。

摘要： Systems and methods for applying user behavior data to improve serach query result ranking are provided. Upon receiving an update file indicating that recent, significant user behavior data is available for a document associated with an inverted index, the update file is published periodically and frequently to an index server. After filtering out the relevant update information from the update file, the index server extracts identifiers of the documents having the associated user behavior data. The update file and the identifier of the documents are utilized to update an in-memory index containing representations of metadata indicative of the user behavior. The in-memory index is continuously updated and utilized to serve search query results in response to user search queries. Search query results from the in-memory index are ranked using the user behavior data prior to serving. Thus, results associated with recent, significant user-behavior metadata receive prominent placement on the search results page.
