SEARCH STRING ENHANCEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17643239 titled 'SEARCH STRING ENHANCEMENT
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for enhancing search strings by determining the order of search term types within the input search string.
- The method identifies the type of each search term in the input search string.
- It determines the order of the types of search terms in the input search string.
- Based on the determined order, the method determines an enhancement for the input search string.
Potential Applications
- Improving search engine algorithms.
- Enhancing search functionality in various applications.
- Streamlining search results for better user experience.
Problems Solved
- Inefficient search results due to lack of context in search strings.
- Difficulty in understanding user intent from search terms.
- Inaccurate or irrelevant search results.
Benefits
- More accurate and relevant search results.
- Improved user experience and satisfaction.
- Increased efficiency in finding desired information.
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method is used for determining an enhancement for a search string. The method includes, responsive to receiving an input search string comprising one or more search terms at an input field: identifying a type of each of the one or more search terms, determining an order of the types of the one or more search terms in the input search string, and determining an enhancement for the input search string based on the determined order of the types of the one or more search terms.
