Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for improved web searching. In one implementation, suggested search queries are provided based on previous search queries and click data. A weighted bi-partite graph or index may be used to identify related search queries based on overlapping clicked URLs. According to a method, query-click log data of a search engine is processed to generate sets of suggested search queries, data corresponding to each suggested search query, and a set of clicked URLs related to each suggested search query. Additionally, or independently, methods may be provided for contextually correcting spelling errors within sets of suggested search queries using e contextual algorithm, and/or identifying and discarding sets of suggested search queries and URLs that lead to restricted material, such as restricted content and related URLs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for online distribution of content based on a user sentiment index. The method may include receiving, over a network and from a user device, one or more user generated inputs and calculating the user sentiment index based on the one or more user generated inputs. The method may also include receiving, over the network, from a content or advertising provider, instructions on publishing content or advertising to a webpage based on the calculated user sentiment index, and publishing content for display on user devices over the network based on a comparison of the calculated user sentiment index and the received instructions.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining whether a search query with an observed number of occurrences in a set of search queries is a local search query. In accordance with one implementation, a method is provided that comprises determining an expected number of occurrences of a search query and comparing the expected number of occurrences to a threshold. Further, the method includes determining whether the search query is a local search query based, at least in part, on the comparison.
