Abstract
A computer system and method a computer system and method for processing a search query result includes identifying a plurality of result pages in response to a search query submitted from a computing device directed to a collection of pages, determining a relevancy ranking of the result pages in accordance with a multiple dimension parameter set that includes metrics relating to the search query itself and also includes metrics unique to a subscriber associated with the search query, and providing the result pages in accordance with the determined relevancy ranking. This provides an active ranking process for the search results before they are provided to a user.
