Modifying search result ranking based on implicit user feedback
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining a measure of relevance for a document referenced by a search result wherein the search result was provided in response to a search query,the measure of relevance being based on a first number in relation to a second number, the first number corresponding to a subset of a count of views of the document following selections of the search result when the search result was provided in response to the search query, and the second number corresponding to the count of views of the document following selections of the search result; and
providing the measure of relevance to a ranking engine for ranking of search results, for the document referenced by the search result.

Abstract
Systems and techniques relating to ranking search results of a search query include, in general, subject matter that can be embodied in a computer-implemented method that includes determining a measure of relevance for a document result within a context of a search query for which the document result is returned, the determining being based on a first number in relation to a second number, the first number corresponding to longer views of the document result, and the second number corresponding to at least shorter views of the document result; and outputting the measure of relevance to a ranking engine for ranking of search results, including the document result, for a new search corresponding to the search query. The subject matter described in this specification can also be embodied in various corresponding computer program products, apparatus and systems.
