Abstract
Implementations and techniques for determining a relative importance among ordered lists are generally discussed.
Claims19
A method for determining a relative importance by a server, comprising:
- receiving a query from a user device;
- determining a first and second ordered list by a first and second search engine, respectively, in response to the query;
- ranking the first and second ordered list according to internal search criteria;
- and
- receiving a determined consensus ordered list, the determined consensus ordered list based at least in part upon an analysis of the first and second ranked ordered list and an optimization of an importance vector via an optimization tool, the first and second ranked ordered list including one or more importance factors.

A method for determining a relative importance by a server, comprising:
- sending two or more ordered lists, the two or more ordered lists including ranked search results generated in response to a query;
- and
- receiving a consensus ordered list in response to the query,
- the consensus ordered list based at least in part on an analysis of the two or more ordered lists and an importance vector via an optimization tool,
- the importance vector based at least in part upon one or more associated importance factors,
- the one or more associated importance factors associated with the two or more ordered lists based at least in part on a determined total distance, and
- the determined total distance includes a distance between the two or more ordered lists.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a query from a user device;
- determining two or more ordered lists by two or more search engines, respectively, in response to the query;
- ranking the two or more ordered lists according to internal search criteria;
- sending the two or more ordered lists to an ordered list optimizer;
- and
- receiving a consensus ordered list from the ordered list optimizer,
- the consensus ordered list based at least in part on an analysis of the two or more ordered lists and an importance vector via an optimization tool,
- the importance vector based at least in part upon one or more associated importance factors,
- the one or more associated importance factors associated with the two or more ordered lists based at least in part on a determined total distance, and
- the determined total distance includes a distance between the two or more ordered lists.
