Summary:A method and system for ranking search results is disclosed. Search sessions are tracked to determined accessed search results. For each accessed search result occurring across the plurality of search sessions, the accessed search result is associated with each search query having been executed within a given search session, prior to the user accessing the accessed search result. A preselection is made among the query elements forming each search query, for indexing the selected query elements. For each pairing of a query element from the preselection and an associated accessed search result, a result score is calculated. A ranking model is then generated. The ranking model contains the result score in association with the corresponding pairing, for ranking subsequent search results from subsequent search queries according to the result scores.
