Aggregating context data for programmable search engines
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- providing, to a client device, information for presenting a search engine user interface for a third party content provider;
receiving, from the client device, a search query entered using the search engine user interface;
processing the search query to determine a context identifier for a context file;
retrieving a context file from the third party content provider identified by the context identifier;
modifying the search query using one or more commands to produce a context processed search query, wherein the one or more commands are contained in the context file;
providing the context processed search query to a search engine;
obtaining, from the search engine, context processed search results responsive to the context processed search query; and
providing the context processed search results to the client device.

Abstract
Search results are generated using aggregated context data from two or more contexts. When two or more programmable search engines relate to a similar topic, context data associated with the programmable search engines are aggregated. The context is then applied to a query in order to present, in an integrated manner, relevant search results that make use of context intelligence from more than one programmable search engine.

25. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program comprising commands that, when executed, operate to cause one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
-
providing, to a client device, information for presenting a search engine user interface for a third party content provider; receiving, from the client device, a search query entered using the search engine user interface; processing the search query to determine a context identifier for a context file; retrieving a context file from the third party content provider identified by the context identifier; modifying the search query using one or more commands to produce a context processed search query, wherein the one or more commands are contained in the context file;
providing the context processed search query to a search engine;obtaining, from the search engine, context processed search results responsive to the context processed search query; and providing the context processed search results to the client device. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
