METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SEARCHING, SELECTING, AND DISPLAYING CONTENT
First Claim
1. A method of processing search results for display to a user, comprising:
- receiving over a network at a computer system a search result from a remote search engine provided in response to a search query,the search result including a plurality of search result items,the plurality of search result items including one or more network resource references;
selecting, using at least one computing device, a first network resource reference,wherein the first network resource reference is selected based at least in part on a;
service subscribed to by an entity, anda specification related to the selected network resource reference provided by the entity;
modifying, using at least one computing device and after the received search result has been outputted to a web browser associated with a user terminal, the received search result to thereby generate a modified search result,wherein the modified search result includes the selected first network resource reference such that when the modified search result is outputted for display on the web browser associated with the user terminal, the first network resource reference is displayed at a first location,wherein the first location is selected based at least in part on the service subscribed to by the entity that provided the specification related to the selected network resource reference, andwherein if the received search result from the remote search engine were displayed on the user terminal without the modification, the first network resource reference would not be at the first location.

Abstract
Methods and systems for identifying and presenting information are described. Search results are received from a search engine. An entity associated with a networked site is selected using a selection criterion. A determination is made as to whether the listing includes a link to the networked site or includes the link to the networked site at a list position that fails to satisfy a first criterion. After determining that the link to the site associated with the entity is not included in the search result listing, or that the link to the site associated with the entity is not at a position in the search result listing that satisfies the first criterion, the search listing is modified by causing the link to the site associated with the entity to appear in a first position in the search listing. The modified search listing is displayed on a user terminal.

8. A system configured to process search results, comprising:
-
a processor; tangible, non-transitory media that stores a program that when executed by the processor is configured to perform operations, comprising; receiving over a network at a computer system a search result from a remote search engine provided in response to a search query, the search result including a plurality of search result items, the plurality of search result items including one or more network resource references; selecting a first network resource reference after displaying the search results on a graphical user interface associated with a user terminal, wherein the first network resource reference is selected based at least in part on a; service subscribed to by an entity, and a specification provided by the entity; modifying the received search result to thereby generate a modified search result, wherein the modified search result includes the selected first network resource reference such that when the modified search result is displayed on the graphical user interface associated with the user terminal, the first network resource reference is displayed at a first location, wherein the first location is selected based at least in part on the service subscribed to by the entity that provided the specification, and wherein if the received search result from the remote search engine were displayed on the user terminal without the modification, the first network resource reference would not be at the first location. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
