Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments of adjusting a search result user interface when a foreign language search query is detected. A search query associated with a search request is obtained. A language of the search query is identified. An alternative search result user interface is generated when the language varies from an expected language. Additionally, an alternative search query can be generated that is based at least in part upon the originally submitted search query.
Claims22
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions executable by a first computing device stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by the first computing device, causing the first computing device to at least:
- obtain a search query associated with a search request comprising at least one search term;
- detect a language associated with the search query;
- determine whether the language associated with the search query differs from an expected language;
- generate a search result user interface including at least one alternative search result from a catalog based at least in part upon the search query and the language when the language differs from the expected language;
- and
- generate a page for display on a user screen, the page comprising an alternative search result user interface corresponding to the language when a locale differs from the expected language, the alternative search result user interface comprising the at least one alternative search result and being based at least in part upon a first page template associated with the language, the first page template referencing at least one of a string or an image varying in size from a second page template associated with the expected language.
A system, comprising:
- at least one computing device;
- and
- a search application executable in the at least one computing device, the search application configured to at least:
- obtain a search query associated with a search request, the search query comprising at least one search term;
- detect a language associated with the search query;
- determine whether the language associated with the search query differs from an expected language;
- and
- generate a page for display on a user screen, the page comprising an alternative search result user interface corresponding to the language when the language differs from the expected language, the alternative search result user interface comprising the at least one alternative search result and being based at least in part upon a first page template associated with the language, the first page template referencing at least one of a string or an image varying in size from a search result associated with the expected language.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining, in at least one computing device, a search query associated with a search request comprising at least one search term;
- detecting, in the at least one computing device, a language associated with the search query;
- determining, in the at least one computing device, whether the language associated with the search query differs from an expected language;
- generating, in the at least one computing device, a page for display on a user screen, the page comprising a search result user interface including at least one alternative search result from a catalog based at least in part upon the search query and the language when the language differs from the expected language, wherein the catalog comprises data regarding one or more catalog items offered for sale by one or more merchants.
