Abstract
A computer-implemented method for identifying search results satisfying a search query received from a user includes obtaining a set of ranked search results that satisfies the search query, and identifying, using historical search query data, a search result that was selected by users who issued the search query and that corresponds to at least one related search query in at least one chain of related search queries that are related to the search query. The method further includes determining, using the historical search query data, a frequency that the search query led to a selection of the identified search result; inserting the identified search result into the set of ranked search results based on the frequency that the search query led to the selection of the identified search result; and returning the set of ranked search results to the user.
