Abstract
A method for promoting preferred content in a search query is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a search result set of content items from a corpus of content items, the search result set responsive to a search query and comprising a rank of the content items, identifying content items in the search result set, the identified content items comprising at least a preferred content item uploaded by a user, adjusting, by a processing device, a position of the preferred content item with respect to a position of a claimed content item in the rank of the content items within the search result set, the claimed content item claimed by the user.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- obtaining a search result set of content items from a corpus of content items of a content sharing platform, the search result set responsive to a search query and comprising a rank of the content items;
- identifying content items in the search result set, the identified content items comprising at least:
- a preferred content item of a user, the preferred content item uploaded by the user;
- and
- a claimed content item of the user, the claimed content item is identified as claimed by the user and uploaded by another user, wherein use of the claimed content item is monitored based on a claimed content policy of the content sharing platform;
- adjusting, by a processing device, a position of the preferred content item with respect to a position of the claimed content item in the rank of the content items within the search result set, wherein adjusting the position comprises:
- determining that a difference in relevancy score attributed to each of the preferred content item and the claimed content item for the rank is less than or equal to a threshold difference value;
- and
- improving, based on determining that the difference is less than or equal to the threshold difference value, a first position of the preferred content item in the rank relative to a second position of the claimed content item in the rank.

An apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device communicably coupled to the memory, the processing device to execute instructions to:
- obtain a search result set of content items from a corpus of content items of a content sharing platform, the search result set responsive to a search query and comprising a rank of the content items;
- identify content items in the search result set, the identified content items comprising at least:
- a preferred content item of a user, the preferred content item uploaded by the user;
- and
- a claimed content item of the user, the claimed content item is identified as claimed by the user and uploaded by another user, wherein use of the claimed content item is monitored based on a claimed content policy of the content sharing platform;
- adjust a position of the preferred content item with respect to a position of the claimed content item in the rank of the content items within the search result set, wherein adjusting the position comprises:
- determining that a difference in relevancy score attributed to each of the preferred content item and the claimed content item for the rank is less than or equal to a threshold difference value;
- and
- improving, based on determining that the difference is less than or equal to the threshold difference value, a first position of the preferred content item in the rank relative to a second position of the claimed content item in the rank.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a processing device to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining a search result set of content items from a corpus of content items of a content sharing platform, the search result set responsive to a search query and comprising a rank of the content items;
- identifying content items in the search result set, the identified content items comprising at least:
- a preferred content item of a user, the preferred content item uploaded by the user;
- and
- a claimed content item of the user, the claimed content item is identified as claimed by the user and uploaded by another user, wherein use of the claimed content item is monitored based on a claimed content policy of the content sharing platform;
- adjusting, by the processing device, a position of the preferred content item with respect to a position of the claimed content item in the rank of the content items within the search result set, wherein adjusting the position comprises:
- determining that a difference in relevancy score attributed to each of the preferred content item and the claimed content item for the rank is less than or equal to a threshold difference value;
- and
- improving, based on determining that the difference is less than or equal to the threshold difference value, a first position of the preferred content item in the rank relative to a second position of the claimed content item in the rank.
