Dynamic Search Query Grouping with Relationship Titles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Search engines display related queries unstructuredly, making it difficult for users to understand the relationship between the search query and the presented related queries, which hinders a directed search approach and wastes time and resources.
Innovation Solution
Implementing cohesive related searches with dynamically generated titles that group related queries based on their relationship to the search query, allowing users to easily identify the relevance and switch between different groupings using a selection pivot.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If related queries are displayed in a generic unstructured group, then the system complexity is reduced and implementation is simpler, but users cannot understand the relationship between the search query and presented related queries, hindering directed search approach
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments related queries into distinct groups based on their relationship type to the search query (e.g., synonyms, related topics, follow-up questions). Each group is presented with a descriptive heading that explains the relationship, allowing users to understand how each query relates to their original search while maintaining manageable organization complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a dimensional layer of organization by introducing relationship-based categorization and descriptive headings. This transforms a flat, one-dimensional list of queries into a multi-dimensional structure where queries are organized both by relationship type and presented with contextual metadata, enhancing user understanding without proportionally increasing system complexity.
2Productivity
If related queries are grouped by relationship with search query, then users can easily identify relevance and improve search efficiency, but the system complexity increases due to dynamic title generation and grouping logic
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining relationship categories and templates for organizing queries. Relationship types and heading templates are established in advance, allowing the system to efficiently categorize queries by matching them against predefined relationship patterns rather than creating complex groupings from scratch during query processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system employs self-service mechanisms where the grouping and title generation processes automatically analyze query relationships and generate appropriate organizational structures without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by using the inherent semantic relationships in the data to drive the organization and labeling of query groups.
3Loss of information
If dynamic titles are generated for query groupings, then users can clearly understand the relationship between search query and related queries, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by using templates and predefined relationship categories that standardize the title generation process. Instead of creating unique descriptive titles from scratch for each grouping, the system selects and populates templates based on the identified relationship type, significantly reducing computational overhead while preserving rich information about query relationships.
Data Source
AI summary
Various embodiments described herein are directed to providing cohesive related searches with dynamically generated titles. One or more related queries are retrieved for a search query and are grouped into one or more groupings based on a predefined relationship between the search query and a subset of the related queries. A dynamically generated first title is retrieved for a first grouping from the predefined relationship between the search query and the related queries in first grouping. The first title and the related queries in the first grouping are presented. A selection pivot is provided to select a second grouping, where the selection pivot contains an indicator of the predefined relationship between the search query and the related queries in the second grouping. Upon selecting the second grouping, a dynamically generated second title is retrieved, and the second title and the related queries in the second grouping are presented.
