Abstract
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for using metadata to improve search result presentation. The method according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises receiving a search query from a user and parsing the search query and retrieving a ranked list of search results. The method then extracts metadata from the search results and casts the extracted metadata into an object model. A template is then applied to the cast extracted metadata and a search results page is generated comprising the ranked list of search results and the templated metadata.
