Method for building a search algorithm and method for linking documents with an object

a search algorithm and document technology, applied in the field of computer systems, can solve the problems of not allowing the user to tell the search technique in the art, prior art databases are not drawing an intuitive relationship between the document and the product/method, and unable to search into such a mass of information, etc., to achieve the effect of narrowing down the search query, improving the search algorithm of the search engine, and more accurate search results

Benefits of technology

[0028]Another aspect of the present invention provides a search method, and/or a search engine adapted to carry on the method, adapted to suggests terms or elements considered in the search query, or algorithm, to the user such that the user can select which are the most relevant terms to help the search engine to refine the query, or algorithm, and provide more accurate search results. The suggested terms or elements can be displayed as user-selected elements such that the searcher can see and select the desired ones. The suggested terms can be reflecting the entire search or can be associated individually with each result. In the latter situation, the

Problems solved by technology

Browsing into such a mass of information remains difficult given search tools that are available.
Search techniques in the art do not allow the user to tell the search engine which documents are the most relevant such that the search algorithm be modified to focus on the relevant terms/metadata to provide more accurate search results.
The same problem can found in databases searches and other data deposits where searches and/or taxonomy is required.
These prior art databases are not drawing intuitive relationship between the document and the product/method.
It is actually

first embodiment

[0078]Turning now to FIG. 4 where is illustrated an exemplary block diagram of system adapted to build a search query and display search results. A first embodiment illustrates a web browser 200 adapted to receive a query 202 from a user. The web browser 200 communicates the query to a search server 204 that connects to various databases 206, 208, 210 that contain searchable data therein. The search server 204 provides search results 212 in accordance with the search query 202 used by the search server 204. The search results are transferred to a metadata management module 214 that screen, order and provide relevant search results metadata to the results presentation module 216. The result presentation module 216 organizes the search results and the relevant metadata in a comprehensive fashion to be presented to the user via the web browser 200.

second embodiment

[0079]In this embodiment the web browser 200 is used because it is the general tool to navigate the internet. The web browser 200 could alternatively be replaced in a second embodiment by a different program or interface adapted to dialogue with the user to receive search instructions from the searcher. The alternate program or interface could be designed to search specific databases or date repositories containing the desired data. The alternate program or interface could include a search engine therein adapted to manage searches.

[0080]The query 202 used by Internet search tools (e.g. like Google™.com) is normally built with key words that are used in algorithms. Each algorithm analyzes the data in a specific way attributing more or less value to each data document and their associated metadata. The search query 202 could be built at the client level or at the search server level 204 without departing from the scope of the present invention. Similarly, the search engine may be impl...

Abstract

A computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method for refining a search algorithm is provided, the method comprising displaying a document, displaying at least one metadata about the search result, receiving instructions about a selection of at least one of the metadata; and modifying a search algorithm by including the selected metadata in the search algorithm. The method can be applied to internet pages based on met tags. A method for linking documents to an object is also provided. A system and interface for carrying same is also provided herein.
