Abstract
In an example embodiment, previous search queries and clicked-on results are retrieved. This results in one or more pairs, each pair containing a query from the search term database and a first set of search engine results from the click database. Then a score is calculated for each feature within the one or more pairs, and a second set of search queries is boosted using the scores for the features.
