A process provides information to users about trips. The process may include receiving a user request to obtain information about trips; obtaining a geographic location of the user; selecting, with a computer, an origin based on both a distance from the geographic location of the user to a geographic location of the origin and a trip-volume value indicative of an amount of trips departing from the origin; obtaining a trip departing from the selected origin; and presenting the obtained trip to the user via a graphical user interface.

Apparatus and method for inferring an origin

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for information retrieval. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a search query in a search interface; determining that the received search query is a flights-related query; and in response to determining that the search query is a flights-related query and without further user input, providing a flight search interface including a plurality of search dimensions and a plurality of flight search results, each dimension associated with an attribute of flight search and each dimension having an associated value, wherein one or more dimension values correspond to values extracted from the search query, and wherein the plurality of flight search results are filtered according to the dimension values.
