Abstract
In a method of generating a search boost vector, a first set of content location identifiers for first content are provided. A second set of content location identifiers for second content are identified. The second content is related to the first content in accordance with one or more first categories corresponding to the first content. The one or more first categories may be determined by applying a text classifier to the first content. The second content may also be identified based on one or more user profiles and/or one or more content site profiles. The search boost vector is generated using weights corresponding to the content location identifiers in the first set of content location identifiers and/or the second set of content location identifiers. The one or more search boost vectors may be used to boost one or more search results.
