Search result optimization based on previous solutions

A computer program product to identify relevant search results, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions configured to cause the computer to:

• accept a first set of query terms from a user;
• provide the user with a first set of search results corresponding to the first set of query terms;
• accept from the user at least one indication of result relevancy from the first set of search results based on an amount of actual viewing time of content rendered after selection of a link from the first set of search results or by the user viewing the content rendered after the selection of the link from the first set of search results and not returning to the first set of search results to view at least one or more other links;
• accept a second set of query terms from the user, the second set of query terms including the same or similar query terms to the first set of query terms;
• provide the user with a second set of search results corresponding to the second set of query terms, the second set of search results including one or more search results from the first set of search results;
• and
• include the at least one indication of result relevancy in the second set of search results, the at least one indication of result relevancy being a search result reordering indicator based on one or more of the actual viewing time of the content rendered after the selection of the link from the first set of search results or the user viewing the content rendered after the selection of the link from the first set of search results and not returning to the first set of search results to view the at least one or more other links.

A method of indicating search result relevancy comprising:

• accepting a first set of query terms from a user;
• providing the user with a first set of search results corresponding to the first set of query terms;
• accepting from the user at least one indication of result relevancy from the first set of search results based on an amount of actual viewing time of content rendered after selection of a link from the first set of search results or by the user viewing the content rendered after the selection of the link from the first set of search results and not returning to the first set of search results to view at least one or more other links;
• accepting a second set of query terms from the user, the second set of query terms including the same or similar query terms to the first set of query terms;
• providing the user with a second set of search results corresponding to the second set of query terms, the second set of search results including one or more search results from the first set of search results;
• and
• including the indication of result relevancy in the second set of search results, wherein the indication of result relevancy is a search result reordering indicator based on one or more of the actual viewing time of the content rendered after the selection of the link from the first set of search results or the user viewing the content rendered after the selection of the link from the first set of search results and not returning to the first set of search results to view the at least one or more other links.
