Dispersing search engine results by using page category information
TL;DR: In this paper, a search engine application queries a searchable index of document data associated with a plurality of electronic documents in response to a search request to identify one or more electronic documents having document data matching data included in the search request.
Patent
Machine directed improvement of ranking algorithms
TL;DR: In this article, a ranking algorithm is defined by a plurality of parameters and weights associated with the plurality of parameter values, and an optimizing algorithm is applied to the received input information to identify an optimal ranking algorithm having an optimal score.
