Abstract
Property store information and an aggregation of a plurality of ranking mechanisms, including a learning mechanism, are leveraged to provide performant query results with increased user relevancy. The learning mechanism permits query feedback to be accepted to facilitate in optimizing user relevance. This mechanism can also be incorporated with traditional Information Retrieval (IR) components, each supplying independent ranking to a relevance aggregation function that determines relevancy at a high level. This precludes diminishing the value of query feedback that occurs when the data is fed into traditional IR algorithms. By allowing the query feedback to maintain its proper weighting and utilizing scope and bias capabilities of the property store information, relevance increases in a highly performant manner.
