Internet Search Results Annotation, Filtering, and Advertising with respect to Search Term Elements
Systems and processes are directed to: annotating Internet search results to indicate missing search term elements on referenced and descendant webpages; optionally filtering out search results referencing webpages with missing terms; and showing advertisements co-visible with annotated search results. When shown, annotations warn the user to avoid clicking on an Internet search result where the user's search term elements are not present on referenced and/or descendant webpages, thereby preventing wasted time and speeding the search process. The user can optionally choose to filter search results with respect to missing search term elements.
1 . A process for operating an enhanced interactive graphical user interface for Internet search, annotation, and filtering on a personal computing device having a display screen, that enables a search engine user to automatically remove one or more search results that each reference a webpage that does not contain a desired search term element, enabling a faster operation of Internet search for the search engine user by enabling the search engine user to avoid spending time visiting a webpage that is missing the desired search term element, the process comprising:
providing an Internet search user interface on a personal computing device;
receiving a search request from a search engine user that is entered on the personal computing device, the search request comprising one or more search term elements;
transmitting the search request to one or more remote servers operating a search engine; and
receiving from the one or more remote servers, in response to the search request, a first Internet search result that references a first webpage that is missing a first search term element and a second Internet search result that references a second webpage; displaying the first Internet search result and the second Internet search result on the Internet search user interface,
wherein the first Internet search result is organized for display as a first search result grouping comprising a first excerpt for the first webpage, a first Internet link for the first webpage, and a first warning,
wherein the first warning comprises a text representing the first search term element and warns the search engine user that the first webpage is missing the first search term element,
wherein the second Internet search result is organized for display as a second search result grouping that comprises a second excerpt from the second webpage and a second Internet link for the second webpage but does not comprise any warning that any of the one or more search term elements is missing from the second webpage,
wherein the first and second search result groupings are each a unique search result grouping displayed separately from each other; and
displaying a filtering option on the Internet search user interface, wherein the search engine user's selection of the filtering option causes the first Internet search result to be removed from the Internet search user interface.
