Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adjusting search results based on device specific utilities. In one aspect, a method includes determining whether a set of search results are ineligible for an adjustment operation based on an absence of a first proper subset of the resources that are determined to have a positive utility for a first device type from which a query was received. The determination is independent of the presence of a second proper subset of the resources that are determined to have a negative utility for the first device type. For each query for which the search results are determined to be adjusted, the search results are adjusted so that the search results referencing resources in the first proper subset are boosted relative to the search results referencing resources in the second proper subset.
