1. A method for modifying search results for a media asset based on a conversation between users, the method comprising:
- receiving, at control circuitry, a search request from a first user;
in response to receiving the search request, performing, using the control circuitry, a search for a media asset in a media database based on the search request;
generating, using the control circuitry, a first display of a set of first search results;
detecting, using the control circuitry, a conversation between the first user and a second user;
determining, using the control circuitry, a first weight for the first user, and a second weight for the second user;
analyzing, using the control circuitry, the conversation between the first user and the second user;
adjusting, using the control circuitry, based on the conversation between the first user and the second user, the first weight and the second weight;
determining, using the control circuitry, which of the first weight and the second weight is greater;
selecting, using the control circuitry, words spoken by the first user or the second user, based on the determined greater respective weight; and
performing, using the control circuitry, a second search for a media asset based on the first search results and the selected words.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for updating search results based on a user'"'"'s comment or a conversation among users using a media guidance application. A set of search results may be presented to a user or users. Comments or a conversation about the search results may be analyzed by the media guidance application. Selected comments by a user determined to have a greater weight may be used to update the search results.

11. A system for modifying search results for a media asset based on a conversation between users, the system comprising:
-
input/output (I/O) interface circuitry configured to receive a user input; and control circuitry configured to; receive a search request from a first user; in response to receiving the search request, perform a search for a media asset in a media database based on the search request; generate a first display of a set of first search results; detect a conversation between the first user and a second user; determine a first weight for the first user, and a second weight for the second user; analyze the conversation between the first user and the second user; adjust, based on the conversation between the first user and the second user, the first weight and the second weight; determine which of the first weight and the second weight is greater; select words spoken by the first user or the second user, based on the determined greater respective weight; and perform a second search for a media asset based on the first search results and the selected words. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
