Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining when to search a native application corpus for native applications and insert native application search results into a set of general web search results in response to receiving a query.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method performed by data processing apparatus comprising one or more computers in data communication, the method comprising:
- for each query submitted for a respective first search operation and for which first resources have been identified by the first search operation as being responsive the query, wherein each first resource is a web-page resource:
- determining a search probability ratio for the query that is at least based on a measure of a likelihood of the query being submitted for a second search operation being of search operation type that is different from a search operation type of the first search operation;
- for each query for which the search probability ratio for the query meets a threshold search probability ratio:
- initiating the second search operation and receiving data indicating second resources identified by the second search operation as being responsive the query, each second resource being a native application;
- determining, based at least on the search probability ratio, whether to insert a search result identifying the second resource in a set of search results identifying the first resources;
- and
- for each query for which a determination is made to insert a search result identifying the second resource in a set of search results identifying the first resources, inserting the search result identifying the second resource in the set of search results identifying the first resources.

A system, comprising:
- a data processing apparatus;
- and
- software stored in non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions executable by the data processing apparatus and that upon such execution cause the data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- for each query submitted for a respective first search operation and for which first resources have been identified by the first search operation as being responsive the query, wherein each first resource is a web-page resource:
- determining a search probability ratio for the query that is at least based on a measure of a likelihood of the query being submitted for a second search operation being of search operation type that is different from a search operation type of the first search operation;
- for each query for which the search probability ratio for the query meets a threshold search probability ratio:
- initiating the second search operation and receiving data indicating second resources identified by the second search operation as being responsive the query, each second resource being a native application;
- determining, based at least on the search probability ratio, whether to insert a search result identifying the second resource in a set of search results identifying the first resources;
- and
- for each query for which a determination is made to insert a search result identifying the second resource in a set of search results identifying the first resources, inserting the search result identifying the second resource in the set of search results identifying the first resources.
