Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for adaptive search refinement is provided. The method may include obtaining an indication of user engagement with an online marketplace and in response to obtaining the indication, providing visually guided search refinement to construct a search query for searching the online marketplace. Providing the visually guided search refinement may include providing search refinement options, obtaining an indication of the approval or disapproval of one or more of the search refinement options, and repeating providing the search refinement options and receiving the indication. For each iteration of providing the plurality of search refinement options, at least some of the search refinement options may be different and determined based on previously received indications of both approval and disapproval. The method for adaptive search refinement may further include providing search results based on the search query.

Claim (Index 9):
A computer-implemented method for adaptive search refinement, the method comprising:\n receiving a first search query; determining that first search query is below a threshold level of specificity; generating a visually guided search refinement comprising one or more search refinement options, the one or more search refinement options comprising an image visually illustrating a search refinement category or goods option, an approval icon, and a disapproval icon, wherein the visually guided search refinement is associated with determining a second search query for the first query, wherein the visually guided search refinement is generated instead of search results for the first query; and receiving an indication of approval or disapproval of the one or more search refinement options via the approval icon or the disapproval icon, wherein the received indication of the approval or the received indication of the disapproval is associated with determining the second search query.
