Abstract:
1. A method of presenting search results, comprising: receiving a first set of results from a first source for a search query; displaying in a window at least a portion of the first set of results in an order determined at least in part by a first corresponding attribute of each respective result; receiving a second set of results from a second source for the search query, wherein the second set of results may be ordered at least in part by a second corresponding attribute, and wherein the first corresponding attribute is different from the second corresponding attribute; normalizing the second corresponding attribute of each respective result in the second set of results to the first corresponding attribute of each respective result in the first set of results, in part to integrate the second set of results with the first set of results; combining the first set of results and the normalized second set of results; ordering the combined set of results at least based in part on the first corresponding attribute of each respective result in the combined set of results; determining a portion of the ordered combined set of results that fits in the window; and providing dynamically an automatically updated display in the window that includes the portion of the ordered combined set of results that fits.
