Abstract

A data handling system includes at least two host devices. For a particular search query that is received by a first host device, a preliminary set of search results is therein generated. The first host system maps the query to one or more topics that are representative to the query. The first host system provides topical click data associated with the topic to a machine-learning module located within a second host device that determines a relevancy score of the result utilizing the topical click data. The first host system obtains the relevancy score of the result and re-ranks the order of the result within a set of results based upon the relevancy score.
