Abstract

A clustered metasearch system receives a search query from a user. The system uses Natural Language Processing to identify an object of the search query and descriptors of the search query. The system sorts the search into an applicable realm based on the object of the search query. The system then conducts the search across a variety of search engines and collects root domains from the search results. Root domains within the same realm as the search query are prioritized and additional factors such as the presence of descriptors in the result, the recency of the result, the search engine rank of the result, and the distance from the center of the realm are used to determine the final ranking of the results. The results are then displayed to a user.
