Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining search results corresponding to a query;
performing a fact check of the search results by comparing each search result from among the search results to respective information from one or more sources to determine a factual accuracy of said each search result;
generating fact checked search results by adjusting the search results in accordance with the fact check;
causing to be displayed the fact checked search results in response to the query;
wherein generating the fact checked search results comprises changing a ranking of a first search result from among the search results relative to a second search result from among the search results;
wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

13. A computerized method comprising:
-
receiving a first search string that comprises at least a portion of a query being inputted; performing a fact check of the first search string by comparing the first search string to information from one or more sources to determine factual accuracy of the first search string; obtaining one or more suggestions to replace or augment the first search string based on the factual accuracy of the first search string, the one or more suggestions comprising one or more second search strings that are more factually accurate than the first search string; causing the one or more suggestions to be displayed; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A computerized method comprising:
-
receiving a first search string that comprises at least a portion of a query being inputted; determining one or more autofill suggestions based on the first search string, the one or more autofill suggestions comprising a recommendation of another portion of the query to be inputted, wherein the one or more autofill suggestions are ranked relative to each other; for at least an autofill suggestion having a top rank from among the one or more autofill suggestions, fact checking the autofill suggestion having the top rank for factual accuracy; in response to determining that the autofill suggestion having the top rank is factually inaccurate, modifying the autofill suggestion having the top rank to be factually accurate; causing to be displayed, during input of the query, the autofill suggestion having the top rank that has been modified; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
