Search result refinement
System and techniques for search result refinement are described herein. Search results and a search context may be obtained. A context dependent facet set may be added to a search result in the search results. A user interface of the context dependent facet set may be presented in conjunction with displaying the search results. A selection of a facet in the context dependent facet set may be received from a user. The search results being displayed may be filtered such that search results that meet a measurement of the facet are included in the displayed search results and the remaining search results are excluded from the display.
1. A system for search result refinement, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
obtain search results for a search;
obtain a search context for the search, the search context including information identifying a person performing the search or information identifying an organization on behalf of which the search is being performed;
add a context dependent facet set to a search result in the search results, wherein the facet in the context dependent facet set is an affiliation between a result in the search results and a person performing the search or the organization on behalf of which the search is being performed;
present a user interface of the context dependent facet set in conjunction with displaying the search results;
receive a selection of a facet in the context dependent facet set from a user; and
filter the search results being displayed, the filtering including search results that meet a measurement of the facet and excluding the remaining search results.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user interface of the context dependent facet set includes, for each facet in the context dependent facet set, a label for the facet and a count of the search results to which the facet applied.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the user interface displays members of the context dependent facet set in a linear element.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the members of the context dependent facet set are displayed in an order initially established by a value of each facet.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person previously applied for a job at the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person is a follower of the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person has previously searched for the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
8. A method for search result refinement, the method comprising:
obtaining search results for a search;
obtaining a search context for the search, the search context including information identifying a person performing the search or information identifying an organization on behalf of which the search is being performed;
adding a context dependent facet set to a search result in the search results, wherein the facet in the context dependent facet set is an affiliation between a result in the search results and the person performing the search or the organization on behalf of which the search is being performed;
presenting a user interface of the context dependent facet set in conjunction with displaying the search results;
receiving a selection of a facet in the context dependent facet set from a user; and
filtering the search results being displayed, the filtering including search results that meet a measurement of the facet and excluding the remaining search results.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user interface of the context dependent facet set includes, for each facet in the context dependent facet set, a label for the facet and a count of the search results to which the facet applied.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the user interface displays members of the context dependent facet set in a linear element.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the members of the context dependent facet set are displayed in an order initially established by a value of each facet.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person previously applied for a job at the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person is a follower of the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person has previously searched for the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
15. A machine readable medium including instructions that, when executed by the machine, cause the machine to:
obtain search results for a search;
obtain a search context for the search, the search context including information identifying a person performing the search or information identifying an organization on behalf of which the search is being performed;
add a context dependent facet set to a search result in the search results, wherein the facet in the context dependent facet set is an affiliation between a result in the search results and the person performing the search or the organization on behalf of which the search is being performed;
present a user interface of the context dependent facet set in conjunction with displaying the search results;
receive a selection of a facet in the context dependent facet set from a user; and
filter the search results being displayed, the filtering including search results that meet a measurement of the facet and excluding the remaining search results.
16. The machine readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the user interface of the context dependent facet set includes, for each facet in the context dependent facet set, a label for the facet and a count of the search results to which the facet applied.
17. The machine readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the user interface displays members of the context dependent facet set in a linear element.
18. The machine readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the members of the context dependent facet set are displayed in an order initially established by a value of each facet.
19. The machine readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person previously applied for a job at the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
20. The machine readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person is a follower of the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
21. The machine readable medium of claim 15 , wherein a search result in the search results identifies a person, and wherein the affiliation is a record of activity indicating the person has previously searched for the organization on behalf of which the search has been performed.
