Systems and methods for online search recirculation and query categorization

A system for generating online search results, the system comprising:

• a recirculation engine including at least one processor configured to perform the following steps:
• receiving, over the Internet, referring URL data including a query and a network site ID for a network site that was visited based on a third party Internet web search engine analysis of the query;
• and
• generating indexed query and network site data based on the received referring URL data and network site ID;
• and
• an Internet web search engine that is different from the third party Internet web search engine and includes at least one processor configured to perform the following steps:
• receiving, over the Internet, a new query from a user for an Internet web search;
• determining a network site relevant to the new query based on the indexed query and network site data;
• and
• displaying to the user a link to the determined network site.

A computer-implemented method for generating online search results using categorizing search queries, the method comprising:

• receiving, over the Internet, referring URL data including a query and a category of a network site that was visited based on a third party Internet web search engine analysis of the query;
• generating, using a processor of a categorization engine, indexed query and category data based on the received referring URL data and category;
• receiving, over the Internet, a new query from a user for an Internet web search, the new query being received by an Internet web search engine that is different from the third party Internet web search engine;
• determining, using a processor of an Internet web search engine, a network site category relevant to the new query based on the indexed query and category data;
• and
• displaying to the user a link to a network site in the network site category.
