The present invention provides a method and system for providing targeted applications within a search engine results page. The method and system includes receiving a search query from a user and interpreting the search query. The method and system then first maps the interpreted query to one or more action templates, wherein mapping the interpreted query to one or more action templates comprises selecting one or more actions associated with the interpreted query. The method and system then maps the selected one or more actions associated with the interpreted query to a plurality of applications and selecting one or more applications associated with the one or more actions. Finally, the method and system displays the one or more applications within a search results page.

System and method for providing contextual actions on a search results page

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for providing dynamic search results based upon historical data through the use of one or more widgets. The method of the present invention comprises receiving a request for content from a client and generating one or more widgets for providing search result content. A display profile is applied to the one or more widgets and the one or more widgets are combined with static search results to form a search result page that is provided to a requesting client.

The present invention provides a method and system for generating search results including receiving a search request and accessing a corpus of data relating to web content to determine relevant content. The method and system includes determining at least one semantic object in the search results set and generating an object filter on the basis of the at least one semantic object. The method and system further includes generating a search result output display for the presentation of at least a portion of the search result set and active data links for one or more of the semantic objects and toggling the search result output display to present at least a portion of a subset of the search results set in response to selection of a given active data link, the subset including content having semantic object associated therewith.

Dynamic layout for a search engine results page on implicit user feedback

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for predicting a frequency with which an advertisement displayed in response to a query will be selected. The method of the present invention comprises receiving analytics data associated with a display of one or more advertisements in response to one or more queries. One or more features associated with the one or more advertisements displayed in response to the one or more queries are identified. One or more functions are generated for predicting a frequency with which a given advertisement displayed in response to a query will be selected using the analytics data and features associated with the one or more advertisements displayed in response to the one or more queries.
