Identifying inadequate search content
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, by a data processing device, data specifying a search query that was submitted by a user;
determining, by a data processing device, a particular search topic with which the search query is associated;
obtaining a measure of relevance of a topic corpus to the particular search topic;
obtaining a topic search volume value for the particular search topic based on a value indicative of a number of received search queries that correspond to the particular search topic;
determining, by the data processing device, a topic corpus quality measure for the particular search topic based on the measure of relevance and the topic search volume value;
determining, by the data processing device, that the particular search topic with which the search query is associated is classified as an underserved topic based on the topic corpus quality measure being less than a specified threshold value; and
providing, by the data processing device and in response to receiving the search query, data that cause presentation of a notification that the search query is associated with an underserved topic.

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a data processing device, data specifying a search query that was submitted by a user; determining, by a data processing device, a particular search topic with which the search query is associated; obtaining a measure of relevance of a topic corpus to the particular search topic; obtaining a topic search volume value for the particular search topic based on a value indicative of a number of received search queries that correspond to the particular search topic; determining, by the data processing device, a topic corpus quality measure for the particular search topic based on the measure of relevance and the topic search volume value; determining, by the data processing device, that the particular search topic with which the search query is associated is classified as an underserved topic based on the topic corpus quality measure being less than a specified threshold value; and providing, by the data processing device and in response to receiving the search query, data that cause presentation of a notification that the search query is associated with an underserved topic. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

7. A system comprising:
-
a data store storing relevance measures for documents that are included in a topic corpus for a particular search topic and a query search volume value for queries that have been identified as associated with the particular search topic; one or more computers configured to interact with the data store, the one or more computers further configured to perform operations comprising; receiving data specifying a search query that was submitted by a user; determining that the search query is associated with the particular search topic; obtaining a measure of relevance of a topic corpus to the particular search topic; obtaining a topic search volume value for the particular search topic based on a value indicative of a number of received search queries that correspond to the particular search topic; determining a topic corpus quality measure for the particular search topic based on the measure of relevance and the topic search volume value; determining that the particular search topic is classified as an underserved topic based on the topic corpus quality measure being less than a specified threshold value; and providing, in response to receiving the search query, data that cause presentation of a notification that the search query is associated with an underserved topic. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A memory device encoded with a computer program comprising instructions that when executed cause one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving data specifying a search query that was submitted by a user; determining a particular search topic with which the search query is associated; obtaining a measure of relevance of a topic corpus to the particular search topic; obtaining a topic search volume value for the particular search topic based on a value indicative of a number of received search queries that correspond to the particular search topic; determining, by a data processing apparatus, a topic corpus quality measure for the particular search topic based on the measure of relevance and the topic search volume value; determining that the particular search topic with which the search query is associated is classified as an underserved topic based on the topic corpus quality measure being less than a specified threshold value; and providing, in response to receiving the search query, data that cause presentation of a notification that the search query is associated with an underserved topic. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
