1. Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method of reducing search-response latency, the method comprising:
- determining a closest intermediate server, which is positioned between a client computing device (“
client”
) and a destination server;
sending a search query to the closest intermediate server;
receiving a plurality of packets from the closest intermediate server;
increasing a congestion window of the transport protocol; and
receiving a response related to the search query.

Abstract
An embodiment of the invention is directed to reducing search-response latency. The closest intermediate server can be located between a client computing device and a search engine. A search query is sent to the intermediate server in a first packet of a transport protocol handshake. A plurality of packets are received from the intermediate server. The plurality of packets are used to open a window associated with a transport protocol. A response related to the search query is received by the client.

11. Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method of reducing search-response latency, the method comprising:
-
receiving a search query from a client computing device (“
client”
);sending the search query to a search engine utilizing a first transport protocol; sending a number of packets to the client utilizing a second transport protocol; utilizing said number of packets to open a congestion window of the second transport protocol; receiving a response related to the search query from the search engine; and sending the response to the client. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method of reducing query-response latency, the method comprising:
-
determining a closest intermediate server, which is positioned between a client computing device (“
client”
) and a destination server;increasing an initial window size of a transport protocol from a first size to a second size; sending a query to the closest intermediate server, wherein said query is sent a threshold number of times; receiving a plurality of packets from the closest intermediate server; utilizing said plurality of packets to open a sending window of the transport protocol; and receiving a response related to the query from the intermediate server, said response including data related to the query and forward error correction data. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
