METHOD FOR BUILDING A SEARCH ALGORITHM AND METHOD FOR LINKING DOCUMENTS WITH AN OBJECT
A computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method for refining a search algorithm is provided, the method comprising displaying a document, displaying at least one metadata about the search result, receiving instructions about a selection of at least one of the metadata; and modifying a search algorithm by including the selected metadata in the search algorithm. The method can be applied to internet pages based on met tags. A method for linking documents to an object is also provided. A system and interface for carrying same is also provided herein.
1 . A computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method for refining a search algorithm, the method comprising:
displaying a document;
displaying at least one metadata about the search result;
receiving instructions about a selection of at least one of the metadata; and
modifying a search algorithm by including the selected metadata in the search algorithm.
2 . The computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method of for refining a search algorithm of claim 1 , comprising:
performing a search based on the modified search algorithm.
3 . The computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method of for refining a search algorithm of claim 1 , wherein the document is a web page.
4 . The computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method of for refining a search algorithm of claim 3 , wherein the at least one metadata is selected from the group consisting of a keyword in a domain name, an internet page title tag and a keyword in a description meta tag.
5 . The computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method of for refining a search algorithm of claim 4 , wherein the document is a web page.
6 . The computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method of for refining a search algorithm of claim 2 , wherein search results are displayed along a substantially longitudinal arrangement.
7 . The computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method of for refining a search algorithm of claim 6 , wherein a second metadata is selected from the search results displayed along the substantially longitudinal arrangement and wherein search results provided by a second search based upon the second metadata are displayed along a substantially longitudinal arrangement.
8 . The computer-readable medium including computer-readable information thereon including instructions providing a method of for refining a search algorithm of claim 6 , wherein a second metadata is selected from the search results displayed along the substantially longitudinal arrangement and wherein search results provided by a second search based upon the second metadata are displayed along a substantially longitudinal arrangement disposed at a zero angle with the substantially longitudinal arrangement of search results based upon the first metadata.
9 . A computer-implemented method for identifying Web page content, the method comprising:
receiving a string of HTML source code that includes meta tags;
determining the most relevant meta tags;
receiving instructions based on the selection of at least one of the most relevant meta tags from a user;
modifying a search algorithm;
performing a search among web pages content based on the modified algorithm; and
displaying search results.
10 . The computer-implemented method for identifying Web page content of claim 9 , the method comprising:
selecting a meta tag from the search results;
modifying the search algorithm;
performing a search among web pages content based on the modified algorithm; and
displaying search results.
11 . The computer-implemented method for identifying Web page content of claim 10 , the method wherein the search results are displayed along a substantially longitudinal arrangement.
12 . A computer interface comprising:
a graphical representation of an object; and
a plurality of pinpoints disposed at specific locations on the object;
wherein the selection of a pinpoint provides information about a the document associated with the specific location.
13 . The computer interface of claim 12 , wherein the document is a patent document.
14 . The computer interface of claim 13 , wherein bibliographical information of the patent document are selectable attributes capable, when selected, to retrieve documents sharing the same attribute.
15 . A method to search information based on physical distance comprising:
selecting a first identifier on the representation of an object; and
providing results ordered according to the distance of other identifier on the object.
