Abstract: Techniques for determining an editable query which, when executed, identifies and presents a set of member profiles similar to a source member profile are described. In an embodiment, a preliminary set of member profiles similar to a source member profile is identified. A set of profile features is obtained from the preliminary set of similar member profiles, and a set of relevant profile features is extracted from the set of profile features. An editable query including the set of relevant profile features is presented. In an embodiment, the set of member profiles similar to the source member profile and corresponding to the set of relevant profile features is also presented. Upon having been edited, the editable query is executable to identify and present a new set of member profiles corresponding to the edited query.

Abstract translation: 描述了用于确定可编辑查询的技术，该可编辑查询在执行时识别和呈现一组类似于源成员简档的成员简档。 在一个实施例中，识别类似于源成员简档的初始成员简档。 从初始集合的相似成员简档中获得一组简档特征，并从该组简档特征中提取一组相关的简档特征。 介绍了可编辑的查询，包括相关的配置文件特征集。 在一个实施例中，还呈现了类似于源成员简档并且对应于该组相关简档特征的一组成员简档。 编辑后，可编辑的查询是可执行的，以识别和呈现与编辑的查询对应的一组新的成员简档。

Abstract: Method and system to present suggested facets is described. The system includes a search request detector, a search results generator, a facet selector, and a presentation module. The search request detector detects a search request comprising search criteria. The search results generator 220 retrieves search results based on the search criteria. The facet selector selects a suggested facet from a plurality of facets, where a facet represents a category may have a variable value and indicates a filter for refining search results. The presentation module generates a list of items that includes search results and the suggested facet.

Abstract translation: 描述了提出建议方面的方法和系统。 该系统包括搜索请求检测器，搜索结果生成器，小平面选择器和呈现模块。 搜索请求检测器检测包括搜索条件的搜索请求。 搜索结果生成器220基于搜索条件检索搜索结果。 小平面选择器从多个方面选择一个建议的小平面，其中表示一个分类的分面可以具有可变值，并且指示用于精炼搜索结果的过滤器。 演示模块生成包含搜索结果和建议方面的项目列表。

Abstract: Method and system to assist a user in formulating a search query is described. The system may be configured to examine an input string submitted by a user via a search box and present suggestions in the form of structured queries, determine an entity and an entity type that corresponds to the input string and generate search suggestions in the form of complex structured queries. The generated query may be presented on a display device of a user.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, computer-program product and method are provided for identifying members of a particular user segment. One particular user segment of interest includes members who work for employers having a number of employees within a predetermined range. Members of an online service provide data purporting to identify their employers and/or other personal or professional attributes. The data entries are normalized by standardizing terms, removing superfluous or unneeded terms, and/or performing other processing. The members are then clustered according to their normalized employer names, and members within clusters that have sizes within the range are added to the user segment. Invalid employer names (e.g., fictitious companies, non-existent entities) may be filtered out. Within a cluster, a professional social networking site (or other site) may be analyzed to determine if the clustered members have developed relationships; if not, the cluster may be cancelled.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于识别特定用户段的成员的系统，装置，计算机程序产品和方法。 感兴趣的一个特定用户部分包括为具有在预定范围内的多名雇员的雇主工作的成员。 在线服务的成员提供查看其雇主和/或其他个人或专业属性的数据。 数据条目通过标准化术语进行归一化，去除多余的或不需要的术语，和/或执行其他处理。 然后根据其归一化的雇主名称对成员进行聚类，并且将具有该范围内的大小的群集内的成员添加到用户段。 无效的雇主姓名（例如虚构公司，不存在的实体）可能被过滤掉。 在群集中，可以分析专业社交网站（或其他站点），以确定群集成员是否已经建立了关系; 如果不是，则可以取消集群。

Abstract: Disclosed in one example is a method for searching. In some examples, the method includes receiving an unstructured search query, parsing the unstructured search query into a plurality of structured search attributes using a search term attribute dictionary, performing a search of a structured database based upon the plurality of structured search attributes to identify a plurality of search results, populating a plurality of form fields of a search form with the plurality of structured search attributes, and displaying the search form in association with the search results.

Abstract: Method and system to generate structured queries is described. The system may be configured to examine an input string submitted by a user via a search box and present suggestions that may include references to entities grouped by entity type. The search system examines the input string, determines one or more entity types that may correspond to the input string, and provides suggestions that may be the form of one or more of keywords and also in the form of values of or references to typed entities.
