Abstract

Methods, systems and programming for presenting content summary of search results. In one example, an input associated with a search query is received from a user. One or more search results are fetched based on the search query. A summary of content with respect to at least one of the one or more search results is obtained. A search result page is presented to the user as a response to the input. The search results page includes the one or more search results and at least part of the summary of content.

Claims (53)

1. A method, implemented on at least one computing device each of which has at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for presenting content summary of search results, the method comprising:

receiving an input associated with a search query from a user, wherein the input includes selection of the search query from a plurality of search queries that are determined based on their popularities in a time period and presented to the user;

fetching one or more search results based on the search query;

determining whether a summary of content has been generated with respect to at least one of the one or more search results;

if the summary of content has been generated, retrieving the summary of content;

if the summary of content has not been generated, creating the summary of content; and

presenting a search result page to the user as a response to the input, wherein the search results page includes the one or more search results and at least part of the summary of content.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

each of the plurality of search queries is associated with one or more search results; and

a summary of content with respect to at least some of the one or more search results has been generated for each of the plurality of search queries.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of summaries of content are obtained with respect to the one or more search results; and

the research results page includes the plurality of summaries of content.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

each of the one or more search results is associated with a parameter; and

the summary of content is obtained with respect to at least some of the one or more search results that are determined based on their parameters.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the parameter associated with a corresponding search result includes at least one of:

a vertical from which the corresponding search result is retrieved,

a topic of the corresponding search result,

relevance between the corresponding search result and the search query, and

content source of the corresponding search result.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least part of the summary of content presented on the search result page is limited by a predetermined number of words.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein entirety of the summary of content is presented on the search result page in response to an input from the user.

8. A system having at least one processor storage, and a communication platform for presenting content summary of search results, the system comprising:

a user interfacing module configured to receive an input associated with a search query from a user, wherein the input includes selection of the search query from a plurality of search queries that are determined based on their popularities in a time period and presented to the user;

a search results fetching module configured to fetch one or more search results based on the search query;

a summary fetching module configured to determine whether a summary of content has been generated with respect to at least one of the one or more search results;

if the summary of content has been generated, retrieve the summary of content; and

if the summary of content has not been generated, create the summary of content with respect to at least one of the one or more search results; and

a search results page generating module configured to present a search result page to the user as a response to the input, wherein the search results page includes the one or more search results and at least part of the summary of content.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein

each of the plurality of search queries is associated with one or more search results; and

a summary of content with respect to at least some of the one or more search results has been generated for each of the plurality of search queries.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein

a plurality of summaries of content are obtained with respect to the one or more search results; and

the research results page includes the plurality of summaries of content.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein

each of the one or more search results is associated with a parameter; and

the summary of content is obtained with respect to at least some of the one or more search results that are determined based on their parameters.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the parameter associated with a corresponding search result includes at least one of:

a vertical from which the corresponding search result is retrieved,

a topic of the corresponding search result,

relevance between the corresponding search result and the search query, and

content source of the corresponding search result.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least part of the summary of content presented on the search result page is limited by a predetermined number of words.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein entirety of the summary of content is presented on the search result page in response to an input from the user.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having information recorded thereon for presenting content summary of search results, wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to perform the following:

receiving an input associated with a search query from a user, wherein the input includes selection of the search query from a plurality of search queries that are determined based on their popularities in a time period and presented to the user;

fetching one or more search results based on the search query;

determining whether a summary of content has been generated with respect to at least one of the one or more search results;

if the summary of content has been generated, retrieving the summary of content;

if the summary of content has not been generated, creating the summary of content; and

presenting a search result page to the user as a response to the input, wherein the search results page includes the one or more search results and at least part of the summary of content.
