Abstract
A text-based search optimization via implicit image search augmentation eliminates or reduces the need for providing an image query input, performing multiple search queries, displaying multiple user interfaces, and the like by enabling a search engine to return a single set of search results comprising an aggregated and ranked set of text-based results and a set of image-based results based on one or more text-based keywords of a search query. Initially, a search query comprising one or more text-based keywords is received at a search engine. A machine learning model is utilized to generate an image based on a first portion of the one or more text-based keywords. Image-based results are generated based on the image. Text-based results are generated based on a second portion of the one or more text-based keywords. The image-based results and the text-based results are aggregated and ranked in a single set of search results.
