Abstract
Search results are filtered using one or more rankers that evaluate a searcher intention to select items from a subset of search results. A subset of items may be provided that are responsive to a user search query. This subset of items may have one or more related properties and may be logically grouped together. A database of rankers may be evaluated and applied to the subset of items to determine items that are both relevant to the user search query and also correspond to a user intention for the search. As a result, the ranker may select and filter out certain items having one or more features that do not correspond to the user intention.
