Identifying task groups for organizing search results

One or more computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for automatically organizing search results for a plurality for search queries according to task groups, the method comprising:

• aggregating a gallery of entities into a query class, wherein the gallery of entities corresponds to queries that share a common categorization;
• assigning a dictionary to the query class, wherein the dictionary comprises a list of terms that are drawn from one or more sources;
• identifying the task groups from the list of terms within the dictionary by utilizing a process comprising:
• (a) analyzing patterns of user search behavior, based on historical user click-through data, to select one or more terms from the list of terms that reflect popular user search intents;
• (b) ranking the one or more terms based on predetermined parameters to produce an ordering;
• and
• (c) based on the ordering, declaring a set of the one or more terms that are highest ranked in the task groups;
• and
• storing on the one or more computer-readable media the task groups in association with the query class;
• receiving a user-issued query comprised of search terms that map to an entity associated with the dictionary;
• incident to receiving the user-issued query, selecting the dictionary from a plurality of dictionaries and recognizing the task groups associated with the dictionary;
• gathering search results that are responsive to the query in conjunction with each of the task groups, respectively;
• and
• instructing a presentation device to render on the UT display the search results proximate to each of the task groups with which each of the search results corresponds, respectively.
