Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a set of search results responsive to a search query received from a user, wherein each search result is associated with a relevance score, and wherein a relevance score comprises a combination of component scores; identifying one or more of the search results having highest relevance scores; determining that the search query is a navigational query and not an exploratory query based on component scores of the one or more of the search results having the highest relevance scores, wherein determining that the search query is a navigational query and not an exploratory query based on component scores, comprises: determining a number of search results to be presented to the user depending on whether the search query is determined to be a navigational query or an exploratory query such that a determination of a number of search results to be presented to a user is based at least in part on component scores of one or more search results identified as having highest relevance scores of a set of search results responsive to a search query received from the user; and sending a subset of the set of search results for display in response to determining that the search query is a navigational query.
