The present inventors devised, among other things, systems, methods, and software for enhancing the relevancy of content presented to users in response to queries in an online information retrieval system. One exemplary system refines a user input query by making suggestions of alternatives queries.
The present inventors devised, among other things, systems, methods, and software for enhancing the relevancy of content presented to users in response to queries in an online information retrieval system. One exemplary system refines a user input query by making suggestions of alternatives queries. A switchboard module converts the refined query, administers one or more searches, and collects search results from one or more search engines based on the refined query. And, a post-processor module refines the collected search results by, for example, modifying the order of the results, removing inappropriate or undesirable content from the results, and/or applying historical performance analysis, based for example on social feedback.

1. An information retrieval system, the system comprising: at least one database storing a plurality of documents;a data structure caching a uniform resource locator for a document predefined to be relevant to at least a portion of a taxonomy; anda server coupled to the at least one database and the data structure, the server configured to: select the taxonomy for a query received from an application presented by a client access device based on provenance of the application;process the query against the at least one database using at least one content-based search engine to generate a search result that identifies at least one document relevant to the query according to a ranking order;extract the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant from the search result if the uniform resource locator exists in the search result;associate at a position of the ranking order in the search result the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant to the at least a portion of the selected taxonomy; andreturn the search result with the associated uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant to the client access device. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one database includes one or more of: legal database, law-related database, financial database, scientific database, health-care database, corporate database, product database, website database, webpage database, public or private database, and combinations thereof. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one taxonomy includes at least one of: a legal taxonomy, financial taxonomy, scientific taxonomy, corporate taxonomy. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the server is further configured to determine the position in the ranking order based on whether the uniform resource locator for the document is to be at least one of before and after the at least one document identified in the search result. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the position is at one of start and end of the search result. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the server is further configured to determine the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant based on the at least a portion of the taxonomy cached in the data structure. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the server is further configured to determine whether the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant based on the at least a portion of the taxonomy cached in the data structure exists in the search result. 8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a data structure that caches a uniform resource locator for a document predefined to be relevant to at least a portion of the query. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the server is further configured to determine the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant based on the at least a portion of the query cached in the data structure. 10. The system of claim 8, wherein the server is further configured to: determine whether the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant based on the at least a portion of the query cached in the data structure exists in the search result;extract the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant from the search result if the uniform resource locator exists in the search result; andassociate at a position of the ranking order in the search result the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant to the at least a portion of the query. 11. A computer-implemented method of retrieving documents, the method comprising: caching in a data structure a uniform resource locator for a document predefined to be relevant to at least a portion of a taxonomy;selecting by a server the taxonomy for a query received from an application presented by a client access device based on provenance of the application;processing the query against at least one database storing documents using at least one content-based search engine to generate a search result that identifies at least one document relevant to the query according to a ranking order;extracting the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant from the search result if the uniform resource locator exists in the search result;associating at a position of the ranking order in the search result the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant to the at least a portion of the taxonomy; andreturning the search result with the associated uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant to the client access device. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the method further comprises determining the position in the ranking order based on whether the uniform resource locator for the document is to be at least one of before and after the at least one document identified in the search result. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the the position is at one of start and end of the search result. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the method further comprises determining the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant based on the at least a portion of the taxonomy cached in the data structure. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the method further comprises determining whether the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant based on the at least a portion of the taxonomy cached in the data structure exists in the search result. 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the method further comprises caching in a data structure a uniform resource locator for a document predefined to be relevant to at least a portion of the query. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the method further comprises determining the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant based on the at least a portion of the query cached in the data structure. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the method further comprises: determining whether the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant based on the at least a portion of the query cached in the data structure exists in the search result;extracting the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant from the search result if the uniform resource locator exists in the search result; andassociating at a position of the ranking order in the search result the uniform resource locator for the document predefined to be relevant to the at least a position of the query.
