Abstract

In embodiments, the present invention provides a method and system for receiving a search query from a mobile communication facility, receiving an indicator input, classifying the search query in association with the indicator input, and formatting the presentation of a search result of the search query based at least in part on the indicator input and search query association.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a search query from a mobile communication facility;

receiving an indicator input;

classifying the search query in association with the indicator input; and

formatting the presentation of a search result of the search query based at least in part on the indicator input and search query association.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is content popularity.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is query popularity.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is an emerging query.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is a current mobile communication facility location.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is a previous mobile communication facility location.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is a user characteristic.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is an editorial work product.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is data provided by a wireless provider.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the indicator input is a mobile subscriber characteristic.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the classification is made based at least in part on a keyword definition.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the classification is made based at least in part on a category.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the classification is made based at least in part on a list of structured data.

14. The method of claim 1 wherein the classification is made based at least in part on a query-modifier combination.

15. The method of claim 1 wherein the classification is made based at least in part on a reference source.

16. The method of claim 1 wherein the classification is made based at least in part on an adult classification.

17. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes grouping results based at least in part on an association with a mobile subscriber characteristic.

18. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes grouping results based at least in part on an association with a user transaction.

19. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes grouping results based at least in part on an association with a usage history.

20. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes grouping results based at least in part on an association with a location.

21. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes grouping results based at least in part on a capability of the mobile communication facility.

22. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes expanded category results.

23. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes results ordered by indicators.

24. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes category results.

25. The method of claim 1 wherein the formatting includes an ordering based at least in part on a relevancy.
