    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved searching are described. In one of the described methods, a user enters a search query, and in response, a search engine receives a substantially complete initial search result set having a plurality of ranked article identifiers. The search engine automatically selects at least one of the article identifiers and provides a final result set in which the selected article identifier is ranked higher than in the initial search result set.

    Abstract: The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a computer-implemented method including determining an affinity score representing an affinity of a user with respect to a contact of the user, wherein the affinity score is an indication of a strength of a relationship between the user and the contact, determining an engagement score of the user with respect to the contact, wherein the engagement score in an indication of a probability of the user engaging with a content item associated with the contact, determining an interest score of the user with respect to the contact based on the affinity score and the engagement score and providing a plurality of content items posted by the contact display in an activity stream, the content items being ordered based on the interest score. Other aspects can include corresponding systems, apparatus and computer program products.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for identifying one or more second documents related to one or more first documents. Strength of relationship scores between candidate documents in a group of candidate documents and each first document are determined by aggregating user selection data for users, the user selection data indicating, for each user, whether the user viewed the candidate document during a window of time after the first document is presented to the user on a search results web page in response to a query. An aggregate strength of relationship score is calculated for each candidate document from the strength of relationship scores for the candidate document. Second documents are selected from the candidate documents according to the aggregate strength of relationship scores for the candidate documents.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to ranking search results of a search query. In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in a computer-implemented method that includes determining a measure of relevance for a document result within a context of a search query for which the document result is returned, the determining being based on a first number in relation to a second number, the first number corresponding to longer views of the document result, and the second number corresponding to at least shorter views of the document result; and outputting the measure of relevance to a ranking engine for ranking of search results, including the document result, for a new search corresponding to the search query. The subject matter described in this specification can also be embodied in various corresponding computer program products, apparatus and systems.

    Abstract: A stopword detection component detects stopwords (also stop-phrases) in search queries input to keyword-based information retrieval systems. Potential stopwords are initially identified by comparing the terms in the search query to a list of known stopwords. Context data is then retrieved based on the search query and the identified stopwords. In one implementation, the context data includes documents retrieved from a document index. In another implementation, the context data includes categories relevant to the search query. Sets of retrieved context data are compared to one another to determine if they are substantially similar. If the sets of context data are substantially similar, this fact may be used to infer that the removal of the potential stopword(s) is not material to the search. If the sets of context data are not substantially similar, the potential stopword can be considered material to the search and should not be removed from the query.

    Abstract translation: 停止词检测组件在输入到基于关键字的信息检索系统的搜索查询中检测到停止词(也称为停止词)。 最初通过将搜索查询中的术语与已知无效词列表进行比较来识别潜在的禁忌词。 然后基于搜索查询和所识别的无效词来检索上下文数据。 在一个实现中,上下文数据包括从文档索引检索的文档。 在另一实现中,上下文数据包括与搜索查询相关的类别。 将检索到的上下文数据的集合彼此进行比较,以确定它们是否基本相似。 如果上下文数据集合基本相似,则可以使用该事实来推断潜在的停止词的移除对搜索不重要。 如果上下文数据集基本上不相似,潜在的停用词可以被认为是搜索的重要内容,不应该从查询中移除。
