Abstract

Determining a web page evaluation value includes obtaining a plurality of web pages with the same or approximately the same content; determining a plurality of generation times and a plurality of first evaluation values that correspond to respective ones of the plurality of web pages; identifying a web page among the plurality of web pages that has the earliest generation time; and determining a second evaluation value of the identified web page according to the plurality of first evaluation values.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. A method comprising:

obtaining a search query;

obtaining a set of search results in response to the search query, wherein the set of search results includes a plurality of web pages with the same or approximately the same content;

determining a plurality of first evaluation values that indicate relevance degrees of the respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determining an original web page from the plurality of web pages based on a plurality of generation times of the respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determining a second evaluation value associated with the original web page based at least in part on the plurality of first evaluation values; and

displaying the original web page among the set of search results based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the original web page.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the plurality of web pages are determined based at least in part on:

comparing a first fingerprint value associated with a first web page of the plurality of web pages to a second fingerprint value associated with a second web page of the plurality of web pages; and

determining that the first fingerprint value matches the second fingerprint value.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first fingerprint value is determined based at least in part on a selected portion of content associated with the first web page.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein a first evaluation value of the plurality of first evaluation values is determined based at least in part on one or more links included in the respective web page of the plurality of web pages.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the original web page comprises the web page of the plurality of web pages associated with an earliest generation time of the plurality of generation times.

7. The method of claim 2, wherein the second evaluation value associated with the original web page is determined based on a combination of a first evaluation value corresponding to the original webpage from the plurality of first evaluation values and a sum of first evaluation values corresponding to those web pages other than the original web page from the plurality of first evaluation values.

8. The method of claim 2, further comprising including the original web page in a white list associated with original web pages.

9. The method of claim 2, wherein displaying the original web page among the set of search results based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the original web page includes ranking the original web page among the set of search results based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the original web page.

10. A system comprising:

one or more processors configured to;

obtain a search query;

obtain a set of search results in response to the search query, wherein the set of search results includes a plurality of web pages with the same or approximately the same content;

determine a plurality of first evaluation values that indicate relevance degrees of the respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determine an original web page from the plurality of web pages based on a plurality of generation times of the respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determine a second evaluation value associated with the original web page based at least in part on the plurality of first evaluation values; and

display the original web page among the set of search results based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the original web page; and

one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and configured to provide the one or more processors with instructions.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the plurality of web pages are determined based at least in part on:

comparing a first fingerprint value associated with a first web page of the plurality of web pages to a second fingerprint value associated with a second web page of the plurality of web pages; and

determining that the first fingerprint value matches the second fingerprint value.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the first fingerprint value is determined based at least in part on a selected portion of content associated with the first web page.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein a first evaluation value of the plurality of first evaluation values is determined based at least in part on one or more links included in the respective web page of the plurality of web pages.

14. The system of claim 10, wherein the original web page comprises the web page of the plurality of web pages associated with an earliest generation time of the plurality of generation times.

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the second evaluation value associated with the original web page is determined based on a combination of a first evaluation value corresponding to the original webpage from the plurality of first evaluation values and a sum of first evaluation values corresponding to those web pages other than the original web page from the plurality of first evaluation values.

16. The system of claim 10, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to include the original web page in a white list associated with original web pages.

17. The system of claim 10, wherein displaying the original web page among the set of search results based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the original web page includes ranking the original web page among the set of search results based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the original web page.

18. A computer program product, wherein the computer program product is embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

obtaining a search query;

obtaining a set of search results in response to the search query, wherein the set of search results includes a plurality of web pages with the same or approximately the same content;

determining a plurality of first evaluation values that indicate relevance degrees of the respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determining an original web page from the plurality of web pages based on a plurality of generation times of the respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determining a second evaluation value associated with the original web page based at least in part on the plurality of first evaluation values; and

displaying the original web page among the set of search results based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the original web page.
