Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program for a search engine to rank a set of pages returned as search results from a search query. The search query and a first origin page are received. The search query includes one or more keywords and the first origin page is chosen based on information associated with the search query. A set of results is generated based on the one or more keywords. The click distance from the first origin page to each page in the returned set is then calculated. The click distance represents the number of intermediate pages that a user would need to traverse in order to progress from the first origin page to a page in the set of search results. The set of search results are then ranked based on the calculated click distance from the first origin page to a page in the set of results.
