Abstract
Assessing a user'"'"'s interest level with respect to an electronic search result through passive monitoring of user interaction with a browser application includes determining that a user has requested an electronic search and enabling the user to perceive one or more identifiers. Each identifier corresponds to an electronic search result produced in response to the electronic search request. The user selects one of the identifiers and perceives the electronic search result corresponding to the selected identifier through a browser application. An interest level with respect to the electronic search result corresponding to the selected identifier is determined by passively monitoring the user'"'"'s interactions with the browser application while the user perceives the electronic search result corresponding to the selected identifier.
