Abstract
Various embodiments of a system and method for conditioning search results are described. The system and method for conditioning search results may include a search result conditioning component. The search result conditioning component may be configured to determine a search result group including multiple search results each corresponding to an item offered for sale; such search results may be results of a search query. The search result conditioning component may be configure to modify the search result group by removing one or more search results from the search result group in response to determining that a measure of similarity between the one or more search results and other search results of the search result group is greater than a requisite measure of similarity (e.g., a threshold). The search result conditioning component may be configured to output the modified search result group.
