Internet Search Result Annotation and Filtering for Missing Terms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often encounter irrelevant or time-wasting webpages in search engine results due to the presence of linking sites, irrelevant information, and missing search term elements, which frustrates their search experience and wastes time.
Innovation Solution
Annotate and filter search results to indicate the presence of unwanted categories and missing search term elements, using a plug-in or software program to analyze webpages and provide annotations or remove irrelevant results based on user-defined criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If search results include all webpages matching search terms, then quantity of search results increases, but relevance and quality of results deteriorates due to inclusion of linking sites and irrelevant pages
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of webpages before including them in search results. It checks whether webpages contain the actual search term elements entered by the user, and identifies linking sites that primarily contain links to other websites. This preliminary filtering action ensures that only relevant pages with actual content matching the search terms are included in the final results, resolving the contradiction between quantity and relevance.
2Quantity of substance
If search results include webpages with links to other sites, then quantity of results increases, but user time is wasted navigating to irrelevant sites
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identification of linking sites by analyzing webpage structure and content characteristics before presenting search results. It detects pages that primarily contain links to other websites and lack substantive content related to the search terms. By identifying these linking sites in advance, the system can exclude them from search results or provide warnings, preventing users from wasting time navigating to irrelevant sites while maintaining a sufficient quantity of relevant results.
3Quantity of substance
If search results include webpages missing search term elements, then quantity of results increases, but accuracy of information decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of search term element presence in candidate webpages before including them in search results. It checks whether the actual search terms entered by the user are present in the webpage content, and identifies pages that are missing required search term elements. This preliminary accuracy check ensures that only webpages containing the necessary search term elements are included in the final results, maintaining high information accuracy while preserving an adequate quantity of relevant results.

AI summary
Systems and processes are directed to: annotating Internet search results to indicate missing search term elements on referenced and descendant webpages; optionally filtering out search results referencing webpages with missing terms; and showing advertisements co-visible with annotated search results. When shown, annotations warn the user to avoid clicking on an Internet search result where the user's search term elements are not present on referenced and/or descendant webpages, thereby preventing wasted time and speeding the search process. The user can optionally choose to filter search results with respect to missing search term elements.
