Claim 10:
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the search results page based at least in part on the one or more URLs or revised queries that occur in at least a specified proportion of navigation trails in the particular navigation trail group comprises: determining a set of search results that are relevant to an original query that an Internet search engine received from a user; in response to determining that a particular revised query is mapped to the original query within associative query data that were generated based on the plurality of navigation trails, including the particular revised query within a set of alternative queries; generating the search results page on which the set of alternative queries appear in conjunction with one or more search results from the set of search results; and sending the search results page over the Internet to the user as an initial search results page that the Internet search result engine sent to the user in response to the query.
