Presenting unique search result contexts
View Patent ↗Presenting unique search result contexts, including: receiving, by a search result presentation module, a plurality of search results generated in response to a search query, wherein each search result includes context information associated with the search result; identifying, by the search result presentation module for each search result, a displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result; determining, by the search result presentation module for each search result, whether the displayable portion of the context information is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result; and responsive to determining that the displayable portion of the context information is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, updating, by the search result presentation module, the displayable portion of the context information for the search result.
1. A method of presenting unique search result contexts, the method comprising:
receiving, by a search result presentation module, a plurality of search results generated in response to a search query, wherein each search result includes context information associated with the search result;
identifying, by the search result presentation module for each search result, a displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result;
determining, by the search result presentation module for each search result, whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result; and
responsive to determining that the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result, updating, by the search result presentation module, the displayable portion of the context information for the search result, including:
identifying, by the search result presentation module, a different portion of the context information associated with the search result; and
changing part of the displayable portion of the content by setting the displayable portion of the context information for the search result to the different portion of the context information associated with the search result.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein determining whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result further comprises determining whether the displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result is an identical match of the displayable portion of the context information associated with another search result.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein determining whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result further comprises determining whether the displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result is identical to the displayable portion of the context information associated with another search result within a predetermined threshold.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein determining whether the displayable portion of the context information for the search result is a duplicate of the displayable portion of the context information for another search result further comprises determining whether the meaning of the displayable portion of the context information associated with the search result is similar to the meaning of the displayable portion of the context information associated with another search result within a predetermined threshold.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein updating the displayable portion of the context information for the search result further comprises:
retrieving, by the search result presentation module, additional context information associated with the search result; and
setting, by the search result presentation module, the displayable portion of the context information for the search result to the additional context information associated with the search result.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the search result presentation comprises a module of a search engine.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the search result presentation module comprises a module of a search result rendering application.
