1. A computer-implemented method for comparing query-related objects, comprising:
- receiving a first plurality of query-related objects for a first user;
receiving a second plurality of query-related objects for a second user, wherein both the first and second plurality of query-related objects include objects of different object types;
comparing the first plurality of query-related objects of each type with the second plurality of query-related objects of the same object type to determine a degree of similarity between the first and second plurality of query-related objects of the same object type; and
issuing a notification of the degree of similarity to at least one of the first user and the second user.

Abstract
Methods for comparing query-related objects are provided. In one embodiment, a first plurality of query-related objects for a first user is compared to a second plurality of query-related objects for a second user to determine a degree of similarity between the first and second plurality of query-related objects. A notification of the degree of similarity is issued.

11. A computer-implemented method for comparing query-related objects, comprising:
-
receiving a first plurality of query-related objects for a first user; receiving a second plurality of query-related objects for a second user, wherein both the first and second plurality of query-related objects include objects of different object types; comparing the first plurality of query-related objects of each type with the second plurality of query-related objects of the same object type to determine a degree of similarity between the first and second plurality of query-related objects of the same object type; assigning a weight to each received query-related object; using the weight assigned to each received query-related object to adjust the degree of similarity between the first and second plurality of query-related objects; and issuing a notification of the degree of similarity to at least one of the first user and the second user, wherein the notification contains information that allows at least one of the first user and the second user to communicate with the other user. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A computer-implemented method for comparing query-related objects, comprising:
-
receiving a first plurality of query-related objects for a first user; receiving a second plurality of query-related objects for a second user, wherein both the first and second plurality of query-related objects include objects of different object types; comparing the first plurality of query-related objects of each type with the second plurality of query-related objects of the same object type to determine a degree of similarity between the first and second plurality of query-related objects of the same object type;
wherein comparing comprises;comparing a component of each of the query-related objects in the first plurality of query-related objects with a component of each of the query-related objects in the second plurality of query-related objects to determine a degree of similarity of the components; and using the degree of similarity of the components to determine the degree of similarity of the first and second plurality of query-related objects; and issuing a notification of the degree of similarity to at least one of the first user and the second user, wherein the notification contains information that allows at least one of the first user and the second user to communicate with the other user. - View Dependent Claims (14)
