1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • identifying a result set including one or more of a plurality of online content sources, wherein each of the included one or more online content sources satisfies a keyword query including one or more keywords;

    for a given one of the online content sources included in said result set, identifying and generating corresponding representations of one or more aggregate paths including said given online content source, wherein each of the one or more aggregate paths includes one or more navigation paths among said plurality of online content sources, wherein each of the one or more navigation paths is indicative of an access request by one or more users that originates from a corresponding originating one of said online content sources to access a corresponding destination one of said online content sources, wherein each such access request indicated by a navigation path occurs prior to generating representations of said one or more aggregate paths, wherein a representation of a given one of said one or more aggregate paths is indicative of multiple ones of said online content sources;

    detecting a selection of a particular online content source from one of said identified aggregate paths, wherein prior to said detecting, said particular online content source does not satisfy said keyword query; and

    in response to detecting said selection of said particular online content source, associating said one or more keywords included in said keyword query with said particular online content source, such that after said associating, said particular online content source satisfies said keyword query;

    wherein each of said identifying a result set, said identifying and generating corresponding representations, said detecting a selection, and said associating said one or more keywords is performed by one or more computer systems, each comprising at least a memory and a processor.
