A facility for processing a search query is described. The facility identifies one or more items that satisfy the query, at least one of which is a media sequence. For each identified media sequence, the facility identifies an advertising message based upon the contents of the query. In response to the query, the facility returns a search result that indicates the identified items. When one of the identified media sequences is selected in the search result, the selected media sequence is provided in conjunction with the advertising message identified for it.
A method in a computing system for processing a search query, comprising:
A computer-readable medium whose contents cause a computing system to perform a method for processing a search query, comprising:
One or more computer memories that collectively contain a media sequence advertising data structure, comprising, for each of a plurality of media sequence advertisements:
One or more propagated data signals collectively conveying a married media sequence link data structure generated in response to a query containing query terms, the data structure comprising data such that, when the link is dereferenced, a primary media sequence having metadata matching one or more of the query terms contained by the query is presented together with an advertisement media sequence having metadata matching one or more of the query terms.
One or more propagated data signals collectively conveying a data structure defining a display that is generated in response to a query containing query terms, the data structure comprising data that establishes in the defined display a media sequence rendering region in which a primary media sequence having metadata matching one or more of the query terms contained by the query is rendered, as well as one or more advertising image regions, in each of which an advertising image is displayed that has metadata matching one or more of the query terms.
