Generating query answers from a user’s history
Topics: Freshness, Personalization, Search Intent, Search Query Processing
This Google patent describes a system for generating answers to queries by accessing a user’s browsing history. The technology allows users to find previously accessed information through natural language queries, particularly useful for voice-based systems. The system processes natural language queries, identifies if they are seeking historical information, applies relevant filters (like time, topic, device), and returns results from the user’s previous browsing history or email.
