More Information
Summary:Ranking search results using result repetition is described. In an embodiment, a set of results generated by a search engine is ranked or re-ranked based on whether any of the results were included in previous sets of results generated in response to earlier queries by the same user in one or more searching sessions. User behavior data, such as whether a user clicks on a result, skips a result or misses a result, is stored in real-time and the stored data is used in performing the ranking. In various examples, the ranking is performed using a machine-learning algorithm and various parameters, such as whether a result in a current set of results has previously been clicked, skipped or missed in the same session, are generated based on the user behavior data for the current session and input to the machine-learning algorithm.
