A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A SEARCH RESPONSE TO A RESEARCH QUERY
First Claim
1. A method for determining a search response to a search query associated with a user, the method executable at a server, the method comprising:
- responsive to a receipt of the search query, determining the most relevant document to the search query;
determining a likelihood parameter indicative of how likely the most relevant document is to satisfy the search query;
in response to the likelihood parameter being above a threshold, marking the most relevant document for triggering a display of only the most relevant document;
in response to the likelihood parameter being below the threshold, displaying the general SERP including the most relevant document and other documents.

Abstract
There is provided a method for determining a search response to a search query associated with a user. The method may be executable at a server. The method comprises responsive to a receipt of the search query, determining the most relevant document to the search query; determining a likelihood parameter indicative of how likely the most relevant document is to satisfy the search query; in response to the likelihood being above a threshold, displaying exclusively the most relevant document; in response to the likelihood being below the threshold, displaying the general SERP including the most relevant document and other documents.

22. A server for determining a search response to a search query associated with a user, the server comprising a non-transient computer usable information storage medium storing computer instructions, which instructions when executed, cause the server to execute steps of:
-
responsive to a receipt of the search query, determining the most relevant document to the search query; determining a likelihood parameter indicative of how likely the most relevant document is to satisfy the search query; in response to the likelihood parameter being above a threshold, marking the most relevant document for triggering a display of only the most relevant document; in response to the likelihood parameter being below the threshold, displaying the general SERP including the most relevant document and other documents.

44. An electronic device comprising a non-transient computer usable information storage medium storing computer instructions, which instructions when executed, cause the electronic device to execute steps of:
-
receiving a search query from a user and transmitting the search query to a server, via a communication network; receiving from the server a trigger, the trigger having been generated by the server by executing the steps of; responsive to a receipt of the search query, determining by the server the most relevant document to the search query; determining by the server a likelihood parameter indicative of how likely the most relevant document is to satisfy the search query; the trigger being instrumental in causing the electronic device; in response to the likelihood parameter being above a threshold, marking the most relevant document for triggering a display of only the most relevant document; in response to the likelihood parameter being below the threshold, displaying the general SERP including the most relevant document and other documents.
