A method comprising:
- providing, by a processor and to a user, information associated with a plurality of browsing statistics associated with a first client device and information associated with a plurality of time periods,
- the plurality of browsing statistics being different from browsing statistics associated with a second, different client device, and
- the plurality of browsing statistics being determined based on information associated with documents accessed, during the plurality of time periods, by the user;
- receiving, by the processor, information identifying a selection, by the user, of a particular browsing statistic, of the plurality of browsing statistics, and a particular time period, of the plurality of time periods;
- modifying, by the processor and based on the particular browsing statistic and the particular time period, a ranking of search results to form modified search results,
- the search results being associated with a search query received from the user, and
- the ranking of the search results being based on the search query;
- and
- providing, by the processor, the modified search results for display to the user.

- receive information identifying a selection, by the user, of a particular browsing statistic, of the plurality of browsing statistics, and a particular time period, of the plurality of time periods;
- modify, based on the particular browsing statistic and the particular time period, a ranking of search results to form modified search results,
- the search results being associated with a search query received from the user, and
- the ranking of the search results being based on the search query;
- and
- provide the modified search results for display to the user.
