This disclosure describes utilizing a generative document system to dynamically build and provide generative search result documents. The generative document system utilizes an aggregated framework that leverages one or more large generative models (LGMs). For example, the aggregated framework includes three stages where local processes are applied to generative outputs from LGMs, with each stage building upon the generative inputs from previous stages. The generative document system uses the aggregated framework to create generative search result documents based on search queries and their corresponding search result links. These generative search result documents provide interactive, intuitive, comprehensive, and flexible curation of answers that address the respective search queries.

Generative search engine results documents

Architecture that computes a definitive answer to a user's top intent of a search query, and positions the top intent answer in a prominent way and at a prominent location of a results page or other search user interface, where the user is most likely to see the top intent answer in an expeditious manner. This may be at the top-most position of the page, above the search results and advertisements, but below the page header and search box. Additionally, the definitive and prominently-placed answer can be presented with an interactive, animated, and/or visually rich element that supplements the original intent. The top intent location can be the boldest element on the page, extend at least one full dimension of the page, use larger fonts and bolder colors than the rest of the search results, and which makes finding the answer easier and faster for the user to locate.
