Abstract
A computerized method comprising using hardware processor(s) for receiving, from a computerized search engine, digital input data comprising a group of relevancy score sets, where each relevancy score set comprises scores associated with computerized search terms and search field pairs found in electronic documents. Two or more statistical values are computed of the relevancy score sets, one or more of the two or more statistical values for each relevancy score set. Based on some of the two or more statistical values, some relevancy scores sets are reduced from the group to create a reduced group. The reduced group is sent to the computerized search engine for presenting a search result to a user on a computer display.
Claims18
A computerized method comprising using at least one hardware processor for:
- receiving, from a computerized search engine, digital input data comprising a group of relevancy score sets, wherein each relevancy score set comprises a plurality of scores associated with one of a plurality of computerized search terms and one of a plurality of search fields pair found in a plurality of electronic documents;
- for each relevancy score set, computing at least one respective statistical value;
- reducing, based on some of said at least one respective statistical value, some relevancy score sets from said group, to create a reduced group;
- and
- sending said reduced group to the computerized search engine for presenting a search result to a user on a computer display.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by at least one hardware processor for:
- receiving, from a computerized search engine, digital data comprising a group of relevancy score sets, wherein each relevancy score set comprises a plurality of scores associated with one of a plurality of computerized search terms and one of a plurality of search fields pair found in a plurality of electronic documents;
- for each relevancy score set, computing at least one respective statistical value;
- reducing, based on some of said at least one respective statistical value, some relevancy scores sets from said group to create a reduced group;
- and
- sending said reduced group to the computerized search engine for presenting a search result to a user on a computer display.
A computerized system, comprising:
- at least one hardware processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by the at least one hardware processor for:
- receiving, from a computerized search engine, digital data comprising a group of relevancy score sets, wherein each relevancy score set comprises a plurality of scores associated with one of a plurality of computerized search terms and one of a plurality of search fields pair found in a plurality of electronic documents;
- for each relevancy score set, computing a at least one respective statistical value;
- reducing, based on some of the at least one respective statistical value, some relevancy scores sets from said group to create a reduced group;
- and
- sending said reduced group to the computerized search engine for presenting a search result to a user on a computer display.
