Search query processing to provide category-ranked presentation of search results

A search engine system displays the results of a multiple-category search according to levels of relevance of the categories to a user's search query. A query server receives a search query from a user and identifies, within each of multiple item categories, a set of items that satisfy the query. The sets of items are used to generate, for each of the multiple categories, a score that reflects a level significance or relevance of the category to the search. The scores may be based, for example, on the number of hits within each category relative to the total number of items in that category, the popularity levels of items that satisfy the query, a personal profile of the user, or a combination thereof. The categories are then presented to the user, together with the most relevant items within each category, in the order of highest to lowest category relevance.

Web site activity monitoring system with tracking by categories and terms

A traffic monitor provides statistics of traffic using an activity input for receiving data related to activity on a server system. Events being monitored are binned by topic or term, where the terms are associated with categories. The categories can be a hierarchy of categories and subcategories, with terms being in one or more categories. The categorized events include page views and search requests and the results might be normalized over a field of events and a result output for outputting results of the normalizer as the statistical analyses of traffic.

Internet-based search system and method of use

An Internet-based search system and method of use. The system in its various embodiments includes an electronic database. The database includes one or more topical categories of information and wherein the categories are further divided into datasets of one or more pre-selected web locations. The invention also includes an Internet remote in communication with the database. The Internet remote includes in its various embodiments, a title bar, one or more advertising windows, a channel selector, a navigation palette, a navigation panel, and an optional set of additional links. In operation, a user selects a channel from the channel selector, which then causes the display of one or more categories in the navigation palette. Upon selection of the desired category, one or more subcategory bars appear in the navigation panel, the selection of which causes the display of one or more links to either a website, or a particular page within a website. Alternatively, the user may enter a search term and, upon selection of a web site, that search term is passed to the selected site employing its own search function. In either circumstance, when the user selects a link, that link displays in a separate companion web browser such that both the remote and companion browser are simultaneously viewable.

Search engine for selecting targeted messages

A search engine receives query terms from a client. In response, the search engine executes a search on a web directory to identify zero or more documents that match the query terms. The identified documents are associated with one or more categories. The search engine probabilistically selects one of the categories associated with the identified documents. Each message in a message database is also associated with one or more of the categories. The search engine accesses the message database and selects at least one message associated with the selected category. The search engine returns a web page containing references to the documents matching the query terms and the one or more messages selected from the message database to the client.
