Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for obtaining search results from high-quality sites. One of the methods includes receiving data identifying first resources that are responsive to a first query. If at least a first threshold number N of top-ranked first resources are located on sites previously identified as low quality sites, a second query and data identifying second resources that are responsive to the second query are obtained, wherein at least a second threshold number M of top-ranked second resources are located on sites previously identified as being high-quality sites. Search results are provided in response to the first query, wherein the search results identify one or more of the first resources and also identify a particular second resource of the second resources.
