Abstract
Methods and apparatus related to using document feature(s) of a document that is responsive to a query, and optionally query feature(s) of the query, to determine a presentation characteristic for presenting a search result that corresponds to the document. In some implementations, measures associated with the document feature(s) and/or query feature(s) may be used to determine the presentation characteristic. The measures may be based on past interactions, by corresponding users, with other documents that share one or more of the document features with the document, where a plurality of the other documents are different from the document (and optionally each different from one another). In some implementations, the document and/or the other documents include, or are restricted to, documents that are access restricted.
