1. A system for ordering search results, comprising:
- a language selector dynamically determining at least one preferred language applicable to search results generated responsive to a search executed on potentially retrievable information and provided in a plurality of search result languages; and
a search result orderer ordering at least some of the search results in consideration of the at least one preferred language.

Abstract
A system and method for providing preferred language ordering of search results is described. A search query describing potentially retrievable information provided in a plurality of search result languages is received. A search is executed by evaluating the search query against information characteristics maintained in a searchable data repository. At least one preferred language applicable to search results generated responsive to the executed search is dynamically determined. At least some of the search results are ordered in consideration of the at least one preferred language.
