Estimating the term…
A “Community-Based Mobile Search Cache” provides various techniques for maximizing the number of query results served from a local “query cache”, thereby significantly limiting the need to connect to the Internet or cloud using 3G or other wireless links to service search queries. The query cache is constructed remotely and downloaded to mobile devices. Contents of the query cache are determined by mining popular queries from mobile search logs, either globally or based on queries of one or more groups or subgroups of users. In various embodiments, searching and browsing behaviors of individual users are evaluated to customize the query cache for particular users or user groups. The content of web pages related to popular queries may also be included in the query cache. This allows cached web pages to be displayed without first displaying cached search results when a corresponding search result has a sufficiently high click-through probability.
A method for providing query search results for mobile communications devices, comprising steps for:
A system for servicing queries on mobile devices, comprising:
A computer-readable hardware storage device having computer executable instructions stored therein for generating a query cache to be provided to mobile communications devices for locally handling searches of query terms, said instructions comprising:
