Abstract
Systems and methods to seed a search are described. The system identifies a seed listing included in listings that describe items being offered for sale on a network-based marketplace. The system identifies a seed filter context based on the seed listing and probabilities. The probabilities describe occurrences of attribute-value pairs in a plurality of listings that respectively describe items that were previously transacted on the network-based marketplace. The system extracts values from the seed listing based on the seed filter context. The system initializes the seed filter context based on the values and generates search results based on the seed filter context. The search results include a second plurality of listings that are identified from the first plurality of listings. Finally, the system communicates interface information to a client machine including the seed filter context and at least one listing from the second plurality of listings.
