1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
- identifying click data for a document, wherein the click data represents a plurality of selections of the document, each selection being weighted according to a respective viewing time of the document when the document was identified as a search result responsive to a query submitted by a respective user in a respective country in a respective language;
calculating first click data by aggregating the weighted selections of the document that are for a same respective country in a respective language;
calculating second click data by aggregating the weighted selections of the document that are for a same respective language;
deemphasizing the second click data relative to the first click data based on, at least, a determination that a language of the query and a language of a user interface are the same; and
calculating a quality of result statistic for the document by combining the first click data with the deemphasized second click data; and
providing the quality of result statistic as an input to a ranking for the document.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer program product stored thereon that, when executed by data processing apparatus, causes the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
-
identifying click data for a document, wherein the click data represents a plurality of selections of the document, each selection being weighted according to a respective viewing time of the document when the document was identified as a search result responsive to a query submitted by a respective user in a respective country in a respective language; calculating first click data by aggregating the weighted selections of the document that are for a same respective country; calculating second click data by aggregating the weighted selections of the document that are for a same respective language; deemphasizing the second click data relative to the first click data based on, at least, a determination that a language of the query and a language of a user interface are the same; and calculating a quality of result statistic for the document by combining the first click data with the deemphasized second click data; and providing the quality of result statistic as an input to a ranking for the document. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A system comprising:
-
a storage device having instructions stored thereon; and one or more computers operable to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising; identifying click data for a document, wherein the click data represents a plurality of selections of the document, each selection being weighted according to a respective viewing time of the document when the document was identified as a search result responsive to a query submitted by a respective user in a respective country in a respective language; calculating first click data by aggregating the weighted selections of the document that are for a same respective country; calculating second click data by aggregating the weighted selections of the document that are for a same respective language; deemphasizing the second click data relative to the first click data based on, at least, a determination that a language of the query and a language of a user interface are the same; and calculating a quality of result statistic for the document by combining the first click data with the deemphasized second click data; and providing the quality of result statistic as an input to a ranking for the document. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
