Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adjusting search results based on device specific utilities. In one aspect, a method includes determining whether a set of search results are ineligible for an adjustment operation based a query being a navigational query. For each query for which the search results are determined to be eligible for an adjustment operation based on a determination that the query is not a navigational query, the search results are adjusted so that the search results referencing resources in a first proper subset are boosted relative to the search results referencing resources in a second proper subset.
