Computer-implemented methods for generating and executing user-based standing queries are provided. In one aspect, a method includes determining whether to generate a notification based on a user-based query and geographical context. The method also includes filtering the notification through explicit or inferred filter criteria. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Automatic user-based query generation and execution

A content item location is identified on a content page. A content item and a video associated with the content item to display in the content item location are also identified, wherein the video is defined by a video aspect ratio and is associated with a video element, and further wherein the video element is defined by a video element aspect ratio. Display data is generated for displaying the content item in the content item location, and video selection data is generated for displaying the video element in the content item location, wherein the video element aspect ratio is maintained when the video element is displayed. The display data and the video selection data are provided.

Video advertisement placement

A user interface and a method are disclosed for viewing digital videos. Responsive to resizing a window, a video region and associated controls are resized so that they remain visible. The video image within the video region is correspondingly resized to maintain the aspect ratio. The location of the video image within the window is independent of scroll events taking place in other regions of the window.

Adaptive media player size

An information retrieval system is provided for processing queries for video content. A server receives a query for video content and returns video articles, as received from broadcast systems or other content providers. Queries are formulated using text, video images, and/or visual content associated with a video article. Various video-oriented characteristics associated with the results of the queries are determined and a rank score is calculated for each. The ranked video articles are displayed in a representation to the user, from which the user can play the video article either within the representation or independent of it.

Ranking video articles

A query including one or more keywords is received. An advertisement associated with the one or more keywords is identified, and display data for displaying the advertisement is generated and a determination is made as to whether the advertisement is associated with a video. Video selection data is generated for displaying the video proximate to the advertisement if the advertisement is determined to be associated with the video, and the display data and the video selection data are provided.
