Abstract
According to certain techniques, a first search engine result page (“SERP”) is obtained. The first SERP is associated with a first user. A second SERP is obtained, and the second SERP is associated with a second user. The first SERP is compared with the second SERP to determine an overall degree of correlation. The first SERP may include at least one of a query, at least one title, at least one uniform resource locator (“URL”), at least one snippet, or at least one related search. The second SERP may include at least one of at least one query, at least one title, at least one URL, at least one snippet, or at least one related search.

A method to correlate a plurality of users, comprising:
- connecting each one of said plurality of users by means of a network to Internet,
- each one of said plurality of users searching into Internet through at least one set of words,
- said each one of said plurality of users obtaining a corresponding search engine result page (“SERP”) containing at least one set of word of SERP,
- wherein at least a processing unit:
- registering at least a first user and a second user of said plurality of users,
- registering at least a first of said at least one set of words of SERP sent to said first user and a second of said at least one set of words of SERP sent to said second user,
- associating at least said first of said at least one set of words of SERP with said first user and said second of said at least one set of words of SERP with said second user,
- adopting a criterion for comparing at least said first of said at least one set of words of SERP of said first user with at least said second of said at least one set of words of SERP of said second user,
- comparing at least first of said at least one set of words of SERP of said first user with at least said second of said at least one set of words of SERP of said second user for determining an overall degree of correlation,
- determining an overall degree of correlation,
- if the overall degree of correlation is greater than a threshold, then
- correlating at least said first user with at least said second user and
- producing at least a direct and quicker communication link between said at least one of said at least one user and said at least another one of said at least one user of said plurality of users.
A system to correlate a plurality of users, said system comprising a processing unit including at least one processor and at least one memory having instructions that are executable by the processor to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- each one of said plurality of users connects by means of a network to Internet,
- each one of said plurality of users searches into Internet through at least one set of words,
- said each one of said plurality of users obtains a corresponding search engine result page (“SERP”) containing at least one set of word of SERP,
- wherein the processing unit
- registers at least a first user and a second user of said plurality of users,
- registers at least a first of said at least one set of words of SERP sent to said first user and a second of said at least one set of words of SERP sent to said second user,
- associates at least said first of said at least one set of words of SERP with said first user and said second of said at least one set of words of SERP with said second user,
- adopts a criterion for comparing at least said first of said at least one set of words of SERP of said first user with at least said second of said at least one set of words of SERP of said second user,
- compares at least first of said at least one set of words of SERP of said first user with at least second of said at least one set of words of SERP of said second user for determining an overall degree of correlation,
- determines an overall degree of correlation,
- if the overall degree of correlation is greater than a threshold, then
- said processing unit correlates at least said first user with at least said second user and
- produces at least a direct and quicker communication link between said at least one of said at least one user and said at least another one of said at least one user of said plurality of users.
A computer-readable medium to correlate a plurality of users including instructions executable to cause a system to perform operations comprising:
- each one of said plurality of users connects by means of a network to Internet,
- each one of said plurality of users searches into Internet through at least one set of words,
- said each one of said plurality of users obtains a corresponding search engine result page (“SERP”) containing at least one set of word of SERP,
- wherein said at least one computer-readable medium
- registers at least a first user and a second user of said plurality of users,
- registers at least a first of said at least one set of words of SERP sent to said first user and a
- second of said at least one set of words of SERP sent to said second user,
- associates at least said first of said at least one set of words of SERP with said first user and said second of said at least one set of words of SERP with said second user, adopts a criterion for comparing at least said first of said at least one set of words of SERP of said first user with at least said second of said at least one set of words of SERP of said second user,
- compares at least first of said at least one set of words of SERP of said first user with at least second of said at least one set of words of SERP of said second user for determining an overall degree of correlation,
- determines an overall degree of correlation,
- if the overall degree of correlation is greater than a threshold, then
- said computer-readable medium correlates at least said first user with at least said second user and
- produces at least a direct and quicker communication link between said at least one of said at least one user and said at least another one of said at least one user of said plurality of users.
