Description:
BACKGROUND 
       [0001]    The present invention relates generally to the field of computing, and more specifically, to generating and re-ordering search results based on multiple potential search terms. 
         [0002]    Web search engines are useful tools for retrieving content on the web. Generally, a web search engine includes a user interface that allows a user to access information on the internet by performing keyword or phrase searches. A search engine may also maintain data about many web pages, such as extracted text and other information used to index the content of a corresponding web page. A user may typically begin a search by querying a search engine through a web browser and typing a keyword or phrase in a search box. Then, the browser may recommend keywords or phrases by suggesting a term, or as part of an auto complete feature with real-time dynamic capabilities that predicts a term as the user types information into the search box and changes as the user continues typing. Once the user selects a keyword or phrase, the search engine closely matches that keyword or phrase to corresponding web page data indexed by the search engine and generates results.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0010]    Detailed embodiments of the claimed structures and methods are disclosed herein; however, it can be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely illustrative of the claimed structures and methods that may be embodied in various forms. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these exemplary embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the scope of this invention to those skilled in the art. In the description, details of well-known features and techniques may be omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the presented embodiments. 
         [0011]    Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to the field of computing, and more particularly, to generating search results based on multiple potential search terms. The following described exemplary embodiments provide a system, method and program product for generating search results based on multiple potential search terms and re-ordering those results in response to web pages viewed by the user. Additionally, the present embodiment has the capacity to improve the technical field of web searching by generating search results based on multiple search terms and re-ordering the results based on viewed web pages. 
         [0012]    As previously described with respect to web searching, a web search engine typically includes a user interface that allows a user to access information on the internet by performing keyword or phrase searches. For example, a user may typically begin a search by querying a search engine through a web browser, such as Google® (Google and all Google-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Google, Inc. and/or its affiliates) or Yahoo!® (Yahoo and all Yahoo-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Yahoo Inc. and/or its affiliates). Then, the browser may recommend keywords or phrases by suggesting a term, or as part of an auto complete feature with real-time dynamic capabilities that predicts a term as the user types information into the search box and changes as the user continues typing. The search results may be presented in a standard list determined by the keyword term selected by the user. The user may be able to view each individual result by clicking on a hyperlink to the web page and return back to the same search results list as needed. However, the search is being performed on just a single keyword term. Therefore, when a user makes a keyword term selection the generated search results are limited to the keyword term selected. As such, it may be advantageous, among other things, to generate search results on multiple potential search terms and re-order the search results based on viewed web pages. 
         [0013]    According to at least one embodiment of the present invention, a search may be performed on multiple potential search terms simultaneously. In one embodiment, a keyword term may produce other potential search terms. Then, according to one implementation, a search may be simultaneously performed on the keyword term as well as the other potential search terms, such as terms recommended by a browser or predicted from an auto complete feature with real-time capabilities. Furthermore, according to one implementation, the search results may include a list of results related to the keyword term intermingled with results related to the other potential search terms. Also, according to one implementation, the search results may be re-ordered and further narrowed based on the viewed results. 
         [0014]    The present invention may be a system, a method, and/or a computer program product. The computer program product may include a computer readable storage medium (or media) having computer readable program instructions thereon for causing a processor to carry out aspects of the present invention. 
         [0015]    The computer readable storage medium can be a tangible device that can retain and store instructions for use by an instruction execution device. The computer readable storage medium may be, for example, but is not limited to, an electronic storage device, a magnetic storage device, an optical storage device, an electromagnetic storage device, a semiconductor storage device, or any suitable combination of the foregoing. A non-exhaustive list of more specific examples of the computer readable storage medium includes the following: a portable computer diskette, a hard disk, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), a static random access memory (SRAM), a portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), a digital versatile disk (DVD), a memory stick, a floppy disk, a mechanically encoded device such as punch-cards or raised structures in a groove having instructions recorded thereon, and any suitable combination of the foregoing. A computer readable storage medium, as used herein, is not to be construed as being transitory signals per se, such as radio waves or other freely propagating electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic waves propagating through a waveguide or other transmission media (e.g., light pulses passing through a fiber-optic cable), or electrical signals transmitted through a wire. 
         [0016]    Computer readable program instructions described herein can be downloaded to respective computing/processing devices from a computer readable storage medium or to an external computer or external storage device via a network, for example, the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network and/or a wireless network. The network may comprise copper transmission cables, optical transmission fibers, wireless transmission, routers, firewalls, switches, gateway computers and/or edge servers. A network adapter card or network interface in each computing/processing device receives computer readable program instructions from the network and forwards the computer readable program instructions for storage in a computer readable storage medium within the respective computing/processing device. 
         [0017]    Computer readable program instructions for carrying out operations of the present invention may be assembler instructions, instruction-set-architecture (ISA) instructions, machine instructions, machine dependent instructions, microcode, firmware instructions, state-setting data, or either source code or object code written in any combination of one or more programming languages, including an object oriented programming language such as Java, Smalltalk, C++ or the like, and conventional procedural programming languages, such as the “C” programming language or similar programming languages. The computer readable program instructions may execute entirely on the user&#39;s computer, partly on the user&#39;s computer, as a stand-alone software package, partly on the user&#39;s computer and partly on a remote computer or entirely on the remote computer or server. In the latter scenario, the remote computer may be connected to the user&#39;s computer through any type of network, including a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or the connection may be made to an external computer (for example, through the Internet using an Internet Service Provider). In some embodiments, electronic circuitry including, for example, programmable logic circuitry, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), or programmable logic arrays (PLA) may execute the computer readable program instructions by utilizing state information of the computer readable program instructions to personalize the electronic circuitry, in order to perform aspects of the present invention. 
         [0018]    Aspects of the present invention are described herein with reference to flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams of methods, apparatus (systems), and computer program products according to embodiments of the invention. It will be understood that each block of the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, and combinations of blocks in the flowchart illustrations and/or block diagrams, can be implemented by computer readable program instructions. 
         [0019]    These computer readable program instructions may be provided to a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus, create means for implementing the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks. These computer readable program instructions may also be stored in a computer readable storage medium that can direct a computer, a programmable data processing apparatus, and/or other devices to function in a particular manner, such that the computer readable storage medium having instructions stored therein comprises an article of manufacture including instructions which implement aspects of the function/act specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks. 
         [0020]    The computer readable program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer, other programmable data processing apparatus, or other device to cause a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer, other programmable apparatus or other device to produce a computer implemented process, such that the instructions which execute on the computer, other programmable apparatus, or other device implement the functions/acts specified in the flowchart and/or block diagram block or blocks. 
         [0021]    The flowchart and block diagrams in the Figures illustrate the architecture, functionality, and operation of possible implementations of systems, methods, and computer program products according to various embodiments of the present invention. In this regard, each block in the flowchart or block diagrams may represent a module, segment, or portion of instructions, which comprises one or more executable instructions for implementing the specified logical function(s). In some alternative implementations, the functions noted in the block may occur out of the order noted in the figures. For example, two blocks shown in succession may, in fact, be executed substantially concurrently, or the blocks may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality involved. It will also be noted that each block of the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustration, and combinations of blocks in the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustration, can be implemented by special purpose hardware-based systems that perform the specified functions or acts or carry out combinations of special purpose hardware and computer instructions. 
         [0022]    The following described exemplary embodiments provide a system, method and program product for generating search results based on multiple potential search terms and re-ordering those results in response to web pages viewed by the user. 
         [0023]    According to at least one implementation, multiple potential search terms may be generated as a user types a keyword term into a search box. For example, multiple potential search terms may be generated from spelling corrections of the keyword term and/or by a real-time auto-complete feature predicting what the user will type next. Then, a search may be simultaneously performed on the keyword term and each of the multiple potential search terms without needing the user to choose between them. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention may not only return search results for the keyword term typed in by the user, but may simultaneously return search results for the multiple potential search terms. Furthermore, the generated search results may be a list of search results from the keyword term intermingled with search results from each of the multiple potential search terms. As such, embodiments of the present invention may include simultaneously generating and displaying search results for a keyword term and multiple potential search terms together. 
         [0024]    Additionally, embodiments of the present invention may re-order the generated search results based on viewed web pages. According to at least one implementation, the generated search results may be narrowed to include search results more closely related to the web pages viewed by the user. For example, if a user viewed search results linked to one of the multiple potential search terms, more search results from that search term may be displayed. 
         [0025]    Furthermore, the search results that may not be viewed by the user, may not be included in the generated search results or may not be displayed in future results for the keyword term that was searched. As such, when the user clicks on the search results and does not find what they are looking for, the keywords that were included in the search results may also be narrowed. 
         [0026]    Referring now to  FIG. 1 , an exemplary networked computer environment  100  in accordance with one embodiment is depicted. The networked computer environment  100  may include a computer  102  with a processor  104  and a data storage device  106  that is enabled to run a re-ordering search results program  108 A and a software program  114 . The software program  114  may be an application program such as a search query program, an internet browser, and an email program. The re-ordering search results program  108 A may communicate with the software program  114 . The networked computer environment  100  may also include a server  112  that is enabled to run a re-ordering search results program  108 B and a communication network  110 . The networked computer environment  100  may include a plurality of computers  102  and servers  112 , only one of which is shown for illustrative brevity. 
         [0027]    According to at least one implementation, the present embodiment may also include a database  116 , which may be running on server  112 . The communication network may include various types of communication networks, such as a wide area network (WAN), local area network (LAN), a telecommunication network, a wireless network, a public switched network and/or a satellite network. It may be appreciated that  FIG. 1  provides only an illustration of one implementation and does not imply any limitations with regard to the environments in which different embodiments may be implemented. Many modifications to the depicted environments may be made based on design and implementation requirements. 
         [0028]    The client computer  102  may communicate with server computer  112  via the communications network  110 . The communications network  110  may include connections, such as wire, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables. As will be discussed with reference to  FIG. 3 , server computer  112  may include internal components  800   a  and external components  900   a,  respectively and client computer  102  may include internal components  800   b  and external components  900   b,  respectively. Client computer  102  may be, for example, a mobile device, a telephone, a personal digital assistant, a netbook, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, or any type of computing device capable of running a program and accessing a network. 
         [0029]    According to the present embodiment, a program, such as a re-ordering search results program  108 A and  108 B may run on the client computer  102  or on the server computer  112 . The re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may anticipate user search queries, perform user search queries, and present the query results to the user. For example, a user using a computer, such as computer  102 , may use a software application program  114 , such as Firefox® (Firefox and all Firefox-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Mozilla and/or its affiliates), that interacts with the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B and a database  116  to anticipate user search query terms, perform the search query based on those terms, and present the results. The re-ordering search results program method is explained in further detail below with respect to  FIG. 2 . 
         [0030]    Referring now to  FIG. 2 , an operational flowchart illustrates the steps carried out by a program for generating search results on multiple potential search terms and re-ordering the search results based on viewed web pages. As previously described, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B ( FIG. 1 ) may be implemented as running on a client computer  102  ( FIG. 1 ) or server computer  112  ( FIG. 1 ). According to at least one embodiment, the program may generate search results on multiple potential search terms and re-order the search results based on viewed web pages. The implementation for the steps in generating and re-ordering search results on multiple potential search terms are described in more detail below. 
         [0031]    At  202 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may receive input from a user initiating a search. The received input may be a search term. For example, client computer  102  ( FIG. 1 ), which may be a mobile device, may be used by the user to access a software application program  114  ( FIG. 1 ), such as a web browser (i.e. Firefox®), to query a search engine and input a search term, such as “ibm”. The re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may then interact with the software application program  114  ( FIG. 1 ) to receive the search term. 
         [0032]    Next, at  204 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may predict phrase completion. As such, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may predict other search query terms based on the input from the user. The predicted search query terms may, for example, be based on spelling corrections, an auto complete feature, profile information, location-based suggestions, crowd-sourced suggestions, and trending keywords. For example, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may receive the search query term “ibn” from a user. As a spelling correction, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may predict that the user meant “ibm”, and may also predict other potential search query terms such as “ibm jobs” and “ibm watson”. Thus, as the user types in a search query term, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may predict other multiple potential search query terms. 
         [0033]    Then, at  206 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may perform multiple searches of each of the possible predicted phrases. Therefore, a real-time search may be simultaneously performed on the search query term, which was inputted by the user, as well as the other multiple potential search query terms predicted at the previous step  204 . For example, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may receive the search query term “ibn” from the user using client computer  102  ( FIG. 1 ). The re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may then predict a spelling correction “ibm”, and may also predict other multiple potential search query terms, such as “ibm jobs and “ibm watson”. Then, a real-time search may be simultaneously performed by the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B on “ibn”, “ibm”, “ibm jobs”, and “ibm watson”. Thus, according to at least one embodiment of the present invention, multiple concurrent searches may be performed on each individual search query term, which may include the search query term typed in by the user and the predicted variations thereof. 
         [0034]    Next, at  208 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may receive multiple search query results for each search query term. As previously described, based on input from the user, at the previous step  202 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may predict other multiple potential search query terms. At previously described at step  206 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may simultaneously perform a search on the search query term inputted by the user and on each of the predicted search query terms. As such, based on the simultaneously performed search, search query results may be received for each individual search query term. For example, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may receive the search query term “ib”, then may use an auto-complete feature to predict the search query term “ibm”, and may also predict other multiple potential search query terms such as “ibm jobs and “ibm watson”. Thereafter, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may simultaneously perform a real-time search on “ib”, “ibm”, “ibm jobs”, and “ibm watson”. Therefore, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may produce multiple search results for each search query term “ib”, “ibm”, “ibm jobs”, and “ibm watson”. Thus, according to embodiments, real-time search results for each individual search query term may be generated. 
         [0035]    Then, at  210 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may interlace the received search query results. For example, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may produce search query results 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 for “ibm”, and search query results a, b, c, d, e for “ibm jobs”. The re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may then interlace the search query results together as such: 1, a, 2, b, 3, c, 4, d, 5, e. The search query results for the search query terms may be interlaced in different ways and may be based on, for example, the similarity of the predicted search query terms to the inputted search query term, the popularity of the site and/or topic, and the likelihood of the predicted search query terms being correct. 
         [0036]    Next, at  212 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may present the interlaced search query results to the user on a device, such as client computer  102  ( FIG. 1 ). As, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may present at least one result for each individual search query term. Furthermore, subsets of the interlaced search query results may be presented on multiple pages. For example, search query results for the search query terms “ib” and “ibm” may be presented on page  1  of the search results page, and search query results for the search query terms “ibm jobs” and “ibm watson” may be presented on page  2 . According to embodiments, once input is received from the user at the previous step  202 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may present a real-time interlaced set of search query results to the user, thereby allowing the user to choose to stop inputting a search term and start browsing through the real-time interlaced search results. For example, as the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B receives the search query term “ib”, a real-time search may be performed on the inputted and predicted search query terms, and interlaced search query results may be presented without needing further input from the user. 
         [0037]    Then, at  214 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may detect what search query results are of interest to the user. As such, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may determine a perceived value to assign to individual search query results based on the detected interest of the user. According to at least one implementation of the present embodiment, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may detect the user&#39;s interest in a search query result based on such attributes as the description of the search query result, the user&#39;s time spent with the search query result, the user&#39;s speed in scrolling to the next search query result, the user viewing the search query result, the user viewing links within the search query result, and/or the user navigating away from the search query result. Furthermore, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may detect the user&#39;s interest in multiple search query results related to different search query terms. 
         [0038]    Next, at  216 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may link the determined interest of the user to the keywords of the search query terms that yielded the interested search query results. For example, after interlacing and presenting search query results for the search query term “ib”, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may detect that the user selected search query results more related to the search query term “ibm watson”. Therefore, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may link the user&#39;s interest to the keywords that yielded those search query results, here “ibm watson”. Furthermore the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may link the user&#39;s interest to keywords of multiple search query terms. 
         [0039]    Then, at  218 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may augment the search query results based on the keywords of interest. As stated in the previous example, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may detect that the user selected search query results more related to the search query term “ibm watson”. As such, after linking the user&#39;s interest to the keywords that yielded those search query results, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may augment the interlaced search query results so that more results from “ibm watson” may be presented to the user. Therefore, when the user returns from selecting a search query result to the original page of interlaced search query results, more “ibm watson” search query results may be added. The added “ibm watson” search query results may, for example, be presented on the first page with the originally viewed interlaced search query results or on the following interlaced search query results pages. For each individual search query result detected by the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B to be of interest to the user, more search query results from those search query terms may be presented. 
         [0040]    Next, at  220 , the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may remove search query results that were not viewed or selected by the user from the interlaced search query results pages. As previously described with the previous step  218 , when the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B has linked the user&#39;s interest to one or more search query results, more search query results from those search query terms may be presented to the user. Conversely, for the search query results not viewed or selected by the user, or not linked to the search query terms of interest to the user, the re-ordering search results program  108 A,  108 B may remove those search query results from the interlaced search results pages.
