1. A computer implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a search query;
determining that the search query is likely issued via a limited data plan;
identifying a plurality of documents that are responsive to the search query;
determining a first data measure for a first document of one or more of the documents;
wherein the first data measure of the first document is based on an amount of data usage in a prior retrieval of the first document; and
ranking the first document relative to other of the documents based at least in part on the first data measure and based at least in part on determining that the search query is likely issued via the limited data plan.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for ranking one or more documents that are responsive to a search query. A document that is responsive to the search query may be ranked based on a data measure of the document that is indicative of an amount of data usage required to load the document. In some implementations, the data measure of the document may be a measured value based on actual data usage during retrieval of the document. In some implementations, the ranking of two or more documents may be based on comparison of the data measures of the two or more documents.
