• a communications module configured to be executed using the at least one computer processor and further configured to receive the one or more trigger words from the user and to communicate the search results to the user;
• a preliminary results module configured to be executed using the at least one computer processor and further configured to determine potential search results based upon the one or more trigger words, the potential search results comprises at least two potential sources from the three or more sources;
• an analysis module to determine a search type based upon the one or more trigger words;
• a classification module configured to classify the potential search results into two or more predetermined qualitative categories based on a content of the at least two potential sources;
• a mix module configured to determine an editorial mix of the search results based upon the search type and the potential search results, the editorial mix comprises two or more types of sources;
• a scoring module configured to determine a score for each source in the potential search results at least partially based upon the editorial mix of the search results;
• and
• a results determining module configured to create the search results at least partially based upon the potential search results, the editorial mix of the search results, and the score for each source in the potential search results.

• receiving the one or more trigger words from the user;
• using at least one computer processor to determine a search type based upon the one or more trigger words;
• using the at least one computer processor to determine an editorial mix based upon the search type, the editorial mix comprises two or more types of sources;
• using the at least one computer processor to determine a potential search results based upon the one or more trigger words, the potential search results comprise at least two potential sources;
• using the at least one computer processor to determine one or more classifications of the potential search results into two or more qualitative categories based on a content of the potential search results;
• using the at least one computer processor to determine scores for the at least two potential sources at least partially based upon the editorial mix;
• using the at least one computer processor to determine search results at least partially based upon the potential search results, the editorial mix, and the scores for the at least two potential sources;
• and
• communicating the search results to the user.
