Abstract
A unique system and method that facilitates providing customized search results for a particular user. The system and method involve tracking user interactions with respect to a list of search results for a given query. In particular, click content, click order, and time stamp data can be collected for each submitted query on a per-user basis. Analysis of the collected data can facilitate inferring the user'"'"'s context or intention with respect to the submitted query to improve the relevancy of returned search results. In addition, the presentation or appearance of the search results can vary according to user preferences, user profile data, or user interests. Thus, different users who submit similar queries using the same or similar terms can receive different sets of search results.
