A server system associates one or more locations with a query by identifying the query, selecting a set of documents responsive to the query, and assigning weights to respective documents in the set of documents based, at least in part, on historical data of user clicks selecting search result links in search results produced for historical queries substantially the same as the identified query. Websites hosting the selected documents are identified, and, for each website, location-specific information for one or more locations is retrieved, including a location-specific score that corresponds to the likelihood that the respective location corresponds to a respective website. For each respective location for which location-specific information was retrieved, aggregating the location-specific scores, as weighted by the document weights, to compute an aggregated likelihood that the respective location is associated with the query. A specific location is assigned to the query when predefined criteria are satisfied.

Inferring geographic locations for entities appearing in search queries

This specification describes technologies relating to searching. In general, aspects of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of receiving, at a computing device, a search query from a user, receiving, at the computing device, search results responsive to the search query, the search results each associated with digital content stored in one or more computer-readable storage media, determining that a first search result of the search results is associated with a first endorsement generated by a first user, determining that the first user is a member of a social graph of the user, and transmitting instructions to display the search results to the user, the instructions including instructions to display a first endorsement annotation associated with the first search result.

Social search endorsements

In one aspect, a system includes: an indexing engine for indexing a plurality of sources of content, receiving a search query and returning search results; a ranking engine for ranking search results to produce ranked results, the ranking engine coupled to receive search results from the indexing engine; a modification engine for generating modified results using information from additional sources and the ranked results, the modification engine coupled to receive the ranked results from the ranking engine, the modification engine coupled to receive the information from the additional sources; and a presentation engine for sending modified results and an annotation, the presentation engine coupled to receive modified results and the annotation from the modification engine, the presentation engine coupled to provide the modified results and the annotation to a client device. The present disclosure also includes a method for retrieving social videos.

Searching using social context

An apparatus in an example comprises an RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) network adapter located at an interface of a requester node coherency domain that sends an RDMA read request to a responder node coherency domain to flush into the responder node coherency domain data previously sent by the RDMA network adapter.

Remote direct memory access (RDMA) completion

A local RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) network adapter that comprises a simplex switchless connection with a counterpart QP on a remote RDMA network adapter in an example is selected for a Queue Pair (QP). An apparatus in an example comprises a requester RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) session fail-over coordinator on a coherency domain that adds a session fail-over header to a front of a data payload sent by an RDMA computer program from the coherency domain. Upon termination, of an RDMA adapter not coherent with the coherency domain and in a communication path of the data payload, before delivery to the RDMA computer program of a receive completion notification for the data payload, the session fail-over header is employable by a responder RDMA session fail-over coordinator to reconstruct the receive completion notification.
