adjusting the respective weight for the determined speaker of the identified negative word.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, using the control circuitry, a second display of a set of updated search results;

detecting, using the control circuitry, a second conversation between the first user and the second user;

analyzing, using the control circuitry, the words of the second conversation;

readjusting, using the control circuitry, based on the second conversation between the first user and the second user, the first weight and the second weight; and

updating the set of second search results based on selected words in the second conversation.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

ranking, using the control circuitry, the updated set of second search results in an order ranked based on a preference profile for the first user or the second user.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

initiating, using the control circuitry, a home assistant device to monitor the conversation between the first user and the second user for a period, wherein the home assistant device is selected based on its proximity to the display of the first search results and proximity to the first user and the second user.
