Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device may identify one or more search queries occurring frequently in a query log during a temporal period and maintain, for each of the one or more search queries, a frequency count of the search query occurring in the query log. The device may identify, a plurality of uniform resource locators (URLs) and match, one or more URLs of the plurality of URLs based on text of the URLs. The device may generate a news event profile for each search query and add each of the matching URLs into a respective news event profile. The device may receive a query from a user and identify, a matching news event profile. The device causes URLs of the matching news event profile and one or more related search queries from the first group of search queries to be presented to the user.
