Claim 18:
19. A system comprising:
a server at a location remote from a device, the server including:
a processor; and
computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to:
receive, from a remote device, a search request for an item listing for an event, the search request corresponding to at least two properties associated with the event;
retrieve a first listing for the event and a second listing for the event from a listing database based on the search request;
determine a similarity score between the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event satisfies a threshold, the similarity score being based on the at least two properties being common to the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event, and based on the at least two properties being weighted differently such that a higher weighted property is more commonly selected by other users than a lower weighted property, and wherein the threshold is based at least in part on display properties of a first display of the remote device initiating the search request;
responsive to the similarity score satisfying the threshold, determine the first listing for the event as superior relative to the second listing for the event based on a comparison of each of the at least two properties between the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event;
generate instructions to be transmitted to the remote device to generate a user interface to be displayed at the remote device, the user interface providing a list of results including the first listing for the event, the instructions excluding the second listing for the event from the list of results displayed on the user interface based on the similarity score satisfying the threshold and determining the first listing for the event as superior relative to the second listing for the event, and wherein the instructions to generate the user interface correspond to the display properties of the first display of the remote device initiating the search request; and
display, on the first display of the remote device and based on the generated instructions, the user interface comprising the list of results including the first listing for the event, wherein the list of results excludes the second listing for the event based on the similarity score satisfying the threshold, and wherein the threshold is based on the display properties of the first display of the remote device, the display properties comprising the display area and the resolution of the first display of the remote device.
