A method and system are provided for offsetting network latencies in an incremental processing of a search query entered by a user of a device having connectivity to a remote server over a network. The search query is directed at identifying an item from a set of items. In accordance with the method and system, data expected to be of interest to the user is stored in a local memory associated with the device. Upon receiving a key entry or a browse action entry of the search query from the user, the system searches the local memory associated with the device to identify results therein matching the key entry or browse action entry. The results identified in the local memory are displayed on a display associated with the device. Also upon receiving a key entry or a browse action entry of the search query from the user, the system sends the search query to the remote server and retrieves results from the remote server matching the key entry or browse action entry. The results from the remote server are merged with the results from the local memory for displaying on the display. The process is repeated for additional characters or browse actions entered by the user when he or she does not find the desired item on the display.

An incremental keyword search may be performed by receiving an input keyword string comprising one or more words having one or more symbols, creating a bit vector based at least in part on the input keyword string, comparing the bit vector with one or more other bit vectors representing at least one candidate keyword string to create a set of matching bit vectors and applying a conventional keyword matching algorithm to the at least one candidate keyword string represented by the matching bit vectors. Any matching candidate keyword strings are presented.

Methods and systems for text disambiguation and context designation in incremental search are provided. A method for selecting items in response to ambiguous keystrokes entered by a user and unambiguous metadata associated with a previously selected search result includes receiving ambiguous keystrokes, selecting and presenting a first subset of items and metadata associated with the items presented based on the ambiguous keystrokes. The method also includes receiving a selection of one of the items from the user, and, in response to a locking operation received from the user, locking in fixed relation at least one of the ambiguous keystrokes to at least one metadata term associated with the selected item. The method further includes, subsequent to receiving the locking operation, selecting and presenting a second subset of items based at least in part on the locked metadata term, and presenting the second subset of items.

The invention discloses an integer pixel precision motion estimation method and a system for the same. The method comprises the following steps of: dividing the search window data into 16 types of pixels and respectively storing the data into 32 RAMs (Random Access Memories) according to the parity of macro blocks, using 16 dual 4*4 pixel motion cost arithmetic units to respectively calculate the motion estimation cost of each type of pixels, and then, when performing layered searching, distributing and combining the arithmetic units, scanning macro block columns one by one according to a dual 'arch'-shaped mode, and realizing layer-by-layer incremental search of which step sizes are respectively 4, 2 and 1. According to the method, by means of referring to a data window storage and management mechanism, pre-storing a score precision search window and the like, the access bandwidth of an external memory is reduced, the bandwidth utilization rate of an internal memory is improved, the degree of parallelism of motion search is improved greatly, and the execution efficiency of large-scale search motion estimation is improved. Simultaneously, the complexity in implementation of layered search hardware is reduced, and the chip area is saved.

A method for optimizing identification and access to product records in a product database, the method executed as a set of stored instructions by a computer processor to implement the steps of: receiving over a communications network textual information representing a potential portion of multiple different words or phrases, the textual information being a sequence of characters; searching metadata of each of a set of product listings stored in the product database for one or more of said multiple different words or phrases in the metadata matching the sequence of characters by having the sequence of characters included as a portion of the one or more of said multiple different words or phrases; executing a search query against the set of product listings using the one or more of said multiple different words or phrases to return a query search result containing a plurality of product listings matching the search query; selecting a product listing subset from the query search result, each product listing in the product listing subset associated with respective said metadata containing the sequence of characters; sending over the communications network the product listing subset for display on a user interface as a list of user selectable links, each of the user selectable links in the list for each said product listing coupled to a respective product record of the product records; and receiving over the communications network a link selection from the list of user selectable links and returning the respective product record associated with the link selection.

Providing incremental search suggestions from a content database include accessing the content database to determine possible candidates for the search suggestions, scoring each of the candidates based at least partially on a non-monotonic document frequency function, where candidates that appear a first amount corresponding to a relatively frequent occurrence in the content database and candidates that appear a second amount corresponding to a relatively infrequent occurrence in the content database both score lower than candidates that appear in the content database with a frequency that is between the first amount and the second amount, and ordering the possible candidates based on at least the scoring. Possible candidates may include named entities and n-grams. The n-grams may only be unigrams and bigrams. Stop words may be filtered out of the n-grams. Scoring may include taking into account term frequency.
