SEARCH RESULT SORT WEIGHTING
A user-specified weighting associated with a category can be received. The category can be one of a plurality of categories used to sort search results. The weighting can be applied to the category. Search results can be re-sorted based on the applied weighting to the category.
1 . A method comprising:
receiving a user-specified weighting associated with a category, the category being one of a plurality of categories used to sort search results;
applying, using a hardware processor, the weighting to the category; and
re-sorting search results based on the applied weighting to the category.
2 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
rendering a user interface element on a display corresponding to the category; and
wherein receiving the user-specified weighting associated with the category is via the user interface element.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the user interface element is a slider user interface element.
4 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:
rendering a respective user interface element for each category in a subset of categories from the plurality of categories;
receiving a respective user-specified weighting associated with each category in the subset of categories via the respective user interface element;
applying the respective weighting to each category in the subset of categories; and
re-sorting search results based on the applied respective weighting to each category in the subset of categories.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the subset of categories includes all categories in the plurality of categories.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the weighting is a percentage inclusively in the range of zero percent and one-hundred percent.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein categories in the plurality of categories are used to determine demand, and wherein demand is used to sort the search results.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of categories include at least one of relevancy, price, or time.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the time is an auction ending time.
10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
receiving a user-specified weighting associated with a category, the category being one of a plurality of categories used to sort search results;
applying, using a hardware processor, the weighting to the category; and
re-sorting search results based on the applied weighting to the category.
11 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , including instructions that, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to performs operations comprising:
rendering a user interface element on a display corresponding to the category; and
wherein receiving the user-specified weighting associated with the category is via the user interface element.
12 . The computer readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the user interface element is a slider user interface element.
13 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , including instructions that, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to performs operations:
rendering a respective user interface element for each category in a subset of categories from the plurality of categories;
receiving a respective user-specified weighting associated with each category in the subset of categories via the respective user interface element;
applying the respective weighting to each category in the subset of categories; and
re-sorting search results based on the applied respective weighting to each category in the subset of categories.
14 . The computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the subset of categories includes all categories in the plurality of categories.
15 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the weighting is a percentage inclusively in the range of zero percent and one-hundred percent.
16 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein categories in the plurality of categories are used to determine demand, and wherein demand is used to sort the search results.
17 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of categories include at least one of relevancy, price, or time.
18 . The computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the time is an auction ending time.
19 . A system comprising:
a hardware processor;
an interface module, executable by the hardware processor, configured to:
receive a user-specified weighting associated with a, the category being one of a plurality of categories used to sort search results; and
applying, using a hardware processor, the weighting to the category; and
a sort engine configured to
re-sort search results based on the applied weighting to the category.
