Abstract
Methods and systems to suggest information to be used with an item being listed for sale may include analyzing stored search queries and identifying co-occurring terms or terms based on their desirability scores (or desirable terms). The co-occurring terms and the desirable terms may be identified based on their frequency of use in the search queries and/or in the title information or other information associated with items offered for sale.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving information associated with an item being listed in a network-based marketplace;
- extracting a first term from the information associated with the item being listed;
- analyzing stored search queries to identify a second term based on the first term;
- and
- suggesting the second term as a candidate to modify the information associated with the item being listed.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving information associated with an item being listed in a network-based marketplace;
- based on the information, identifying a subset of the stored search queries that cause the item being listed to be included in search results;
- and
- determining relevancy of the information associated with the item being listed as related to each of the stored search queries in the subset;
- and
- based on the relevancy of the information, suggesting one or more terms to modify the information.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a storage device coupled to the processor to store information related to search queries and information related to items associated with a network-based marketplace;
- and
- a suggestion application coupled to the processor to receive title information related to an item being listed and to suggest modifying information related to the item being listed, wherein the modifying information is suggested based on at least the information related to the search queries or the information related to the items in the network-based marketplace.
