Explicit signals personalized search

A recommendation system implemented in at least one computing device, comprising:

• a user interface configured to receive an explicit declaration from a user of a user device in real time without the user device prompting the user, the explicit declaration is configured to influence a subsequent recommendation, the user device recognizing the explicit declaration by an identifier for an intelligent personal assistant of the user device that begins the explicit declaration;
• a processing module configured to process the explicit declaration to generate a record;
• and
• a rules generator configured to generate a recommendation rule based on the generated record, the recommendation rule defining a manner in which a corresponding recommendation is provided.

A method in a user device, comprising:

• accessing a stored at least one recommendation rule previously generated based on an explicit declaration received from a user, the explicit declaration configured to influence a subsequent recommendation, the user device having recognized the explicit declaration by an identifier for an intelligent personal assistant of the user device that was included in the explicit declaration by the user;
• matching the at least one recommendation rule with one or more environmental triggers;
• and
• executing the matching recommendation rule to generate a recommendation for the user.
