Abstract:

A user submits a query to a search system that produces a search results page having one or more segments and a plurality of URLs relevant to the query. Embodiments of the disclosure ensure cohesion between the URLs and the segments on the search results page by evaluating each segment relative to the URLs. A relevancy score is calculated for each segment based on the URLs. The relevancy score for each segment is compared to one or more thresholds. Depending on whether the relevancy score for each segment exceeds one or more thresholds, the segment can be eliminated from the search page, relocated on the search page, or left alone. Calculation of each relevancy score is based on information determined from a search log. A feedback loop can help improve the functioning of the suppression and/or relocation functions.
