Claims35
A method to facilitate searching a data resource utilized by sellers and buyers that transact items in a network-based marketplace, the method including:
- receiving information, from a seller, that is associated with an item;
- evaluating the information in real time with a rule that includes an expression and supplemental information;
- if the expression evaluates true, supplementing the information with the supplemental information;
- and
- storing the information and the supplemental information in the data resource, the evaluating, supplementing and storing performed in real time to facilitate a search of the information and the supplemental information in real time.
A system to facilitate a search of a data resource utilized by sellers and buyers that transact items in a network-based marketplace, the system including:
- a receiving module to receive, from a seller, information that is associated with an item;
- a rule application module to evaluate the information with a rule that includes an expression and supplemental information that is utilized to supplement the information if the expression evaluates true;
- and
- a processing module to store the information and the supplemental information, the evaluating, supplementing, and storing performed in real time to facilitate a search of the information and the supplemental information in real time.
A machine readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive information, from a seller, that is associated with an item;
- evaluate the information with a rule that includes an expression and supplemental information;
- if the expression evaluates true, supplement the information with the supplemental information;
- and
- store the information and the supplemental information in a data resource, wherein the machine evaluates, supplements, and stores in real time to facilitate a search of the item information and the supplemental information in real time.
A system, the system including:
- a first means for receiving information, from a seller, that is associated with an item;
- and
- a second means for evaluating the information with a rule that includes an expression and supplemental information for supplementing the information if the expression evaluates true, the second means for storing the information and the supplemental information in a data resource, the evaluating, supplementing, and storing performed in real time to facilitate a search of the information and the supplemental information in real time.
A method to generate a query to search a data resource utilized by a seller and a buyer that transact an item in a network-based marketplace, the method including:
- receiving a keyword query, from a buyer, that includes at least one keyword;
- evaluating the at least one keyword with at least one rule that includes an expression and classification information;
- and
- if the expression evaluates true, including the classification information in the query, wherein the classification information is utilized to search supplemental information stored in the data resource, the supplemental information generated from information that is entered by the seller.
A system to generate a query to search a data resource utilized by a seller and a buyer that transact items in a network-based marketplace, the system including:
- a computing module to receive a keyword query, from a buyer, that includes at least one keyword;
- and
- a query generation module to evaluate the at least one keyword with at least one rule that includes an expression and classification information, the query generation module to include the classification information in the query if the expression evaluates true, the classification information utilized to search supplemental information stored in the data resource, the supplemental information generated from item information that is entered by the seller.
A machine readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive a keyword query, from a buyer, that includes at least one keyword;
- evaluate the at least one keyword with at least one rule that includes an expression and classification information;
- and
- if the expression evaluates true, including the classification information in the query, wherein the classification information is utilized to search supplemental information stored in the data resource, the supplemental information generated from information that is entered by the seller.
