USE OF OFF-PAGE CONTENT TO ENHANCE CAPTIONS WITH ADDITIONAL RELEVANT INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system, comprising:
- a data component that responds to processing of a query and operates to identify entities represented as content elements on target webpages related to the query, the data component obtains additional entity data comprising at least one of concepts or content determined to be relevant to the entities from disparate on-page data sources and off-page data sources to use in a search result;
a presentation component for presenting the additional entity data in a caption accompanying the search result; and
a processor that executes computer-executable instructions associated with the data component.

Abstract
Architecture that uses content from off-page data sources such as feeds (e.g., yellow pages, coupons, social networks, commerce, etc.) to present additional, relevant information in association with search results. The additional and relevant information is directly relevant to the implicit task the user is trying to accomplish. The architecture includes online and offline mechanisms that identify an entity represented on a web page and look-up information related to that entity in disparate data sources. Relevance heuristics are employed to determine which of the available entity data to show in the caption given the user query, the web page, and the underlying user task (other known information about the user such as geographic location).

10. A computer-implemented method, comprising acts of:
-
processing a search query related to an underlying user task of a user; identifying entities represented as content elements in corresponding target webpages based on the search query; retrieving off-page entity data from an off-page data source, the off-page entity data comprising at least one of concepts or content determined to be related to the entities; presenting the off-page entity data in association with a search result of the query; and utilizing a processor that executes instructions stored in memory to perform at least one of the acts of processing, identifying, retrieving, or presenting. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer-implemented method, comprising acts of:
-
processing a query related to an underlying user task of a user; identifying an entity represented in a corresponding target webpage based on the query; retrieving off-page entity data related to the entity and on-page entity data related to the entity, the off-page data being retrieved from an off-page data source; applying heuristics to the off-page entity data and on-page entity data to determine entity data to present; presenting the entity data in association with a search result of the query; and utilizing a processor that executes instructions stored in memory to perform at least one of the acts of processing, identifying, retrieving, applying, or presenting. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
