Navigational resources for queries
Topics: Reranking, Scoring, Search Query Processing, User Signals
The Google patent describes a method for improving search engines by associating initial user queries with higher-quality resources, known as navigational queries and navigational resources. This process involves analyzing sequences of user queries, evaluating their quality and navigational scores, and identifying resources that users eventually select. By doing so, search results can be adjusted to present more relevant information at the top of the results, potentially reducing the need for users to refine their search queries repeatedly.
