A method of presenting computer-generated search result information can include receiving a search request from a client computer; identifying a plurality of search results responsive to the search request; ranking the plurality of search results using content in one or more web notebooks; and providing the ranked plurality of search results for presentation in the client computer. Using the content can include determining whether at least one of a title, a heading, clipped content, metadata or a user-annotation in at least one web notebook relates to the search request and, if so, increasing a ranking of at least one search result referenced by the at least one web notebook.

Presenting search result information

A computer readable medium, an electronic document or a system that uses on of these that includes code that specifies a module for a container document using a content type element, a content element and one or more preference elements.

Module specification for a module to be incorporated into a container document

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates sharing gadgets. The system allows a sender to specify a gadget to share with a recipient and how a set of configuration parameters are to be shared with the recipient. The system further receives an identifier for the recipient. The system also communicates the gadget to the recipient, thereby allowing the recipient to use the gadget in accordance with the configuration parameters.

Methods and system for sharing gadgets between users

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing search result page previews. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data that specify a set of search results responsive to a search query. Query-relevant content is selected to be included in a page preview for at least one of the search results. In turn, data that cause presentation of the page preview are provided. The data provided can cause presentation of the query-relevant content at an initial zoom level and at a higher zoom level, where the initial zoom level is a zoom level at which both the query-relevant content and other content from the resource are presented. The page preview can include a page tear that defines multiple portions of the page preview for a resource.

Search result previews

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for presenting document-specific snippets for documents in site-specific search results. One example method according to the present disclosure includes determining a set of documents that are responsive to a search query, the set of documents including (i) a first document and (ii) a second document that is referenced by the first document, identifying a set of representative keywords associated with the second document, identifying a snippet that (i) is associated with the second document, and (ii) includes one or more terms from the set of representative keywords, and providing a search results page that identifies the first document, the second document, and the snippet.

Methods and systems for presenting document-specific snippets

A computer readable medium, an electronic document or a system that uses one of these that includes particular code that specifies a first module selectively designated for inclusion in a personalized container document and additional code that specifies a second module selectively designated for inclusion in the personalized container document. The container document designates a plurality of modules included in the container document. Each module in the plurality of modules is adapted for rendering module data for presenting in the container document. The first module is adapted to render module data based at least in part on the particular code, the particular code including a first content type element, a first content element and one or more preference elements. The second module is adapted for rendering module data for presenting in the container document based at least in part on the additional code, the additional code including a second content type element, a second content element and one or more preference elements. The first content type element is different than the second content type element.

A method of adding web-based content to a web notebook can include producing multiple search results responsive to a search request; generating in the multiple search results multiple corresponding icons, each of which, when invoked, causes content associated with a corresponding search result in the multiple search results to be placed in a web notebook associated with a user account; and forming a correlation between one of the multiple search results and the web notebook.

Managing and accessing data in web notebooks

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for ranking resources. One or more signals reporting one or more actions by the plurality of users related to a respective resource are received, where a reported action is a presentation of the respective resource, an addition of the respective resource, or a deletion of the respective resource. The reported actions include one or more short deletions of the respective resource. A respective long-addition click-through rate (LACTR) is determined for the respective resource based on a number of reported presentations of the respective resource and a difference between a number of reported additions of the respective resource and a number of short deletions of the respective resource. The plurality of resources are ranked based on the respective LACTRs for the plurality of resources. The ranking of the plurality of resources are provided.

Generic online ranking system and method suitable for syndication

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying query-relevant content in a resource identified by a search result in response to the query. In one aspect, a method includes identifying resource search tidbits for a resource, each resource search tidbit being eligible for a resource search operation for the resource. The resource search tidbits are provided with search results to a client device. In response to a user selecting a resource identified by a search result, the client device identifies text in the resource matching the query-relevant text of the resource search tidbit and performs a resource search operation on the resource if the identified text meets a search operation threshold condition.
