detailed description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown in the drawings, the embodiments Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more fully understood and the scope of the disclosure will be fully disclosed.

To solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for customizing a search result page. 1 shows a process flow diagram of a method of customizing a search results page in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, the method includes at least:

Step S102, triggering a custom sorting instruction on the first search result page;

Step S104: Convert each search result of the first search result page into each result unit that is positionally movable;

Step S106: Perform custom sorting on the position of one or more of the converted result units according to the user's sorting instruction.

Step S108: Combine the customized result units into a second search result page.

The first search result page mentioned in step S102 is a combination of search results that are not subjected to custom sorting, and the first search result page is drawn in the same manner as the prior art. Specifically, the first search result page may be drawn according to the following steps:

Step A: receiving a query word input by a user;

Step B: using a search engine to obtain a plurality of search results according to the query word search;

Step C: Using a plurality of combinations of search results to draw a first search result page.

For example, search for "salmon scrambled eggs" as a query term. After searching for "tomato scrambled eggs" in the browser query box, you can get multiple search results for "tomato scrambled eggs", such as the practice of "tomato scrambled eggs", the nutritional value of "tomato scrambled eggs", "tomato scrambled eggs" "Notes and so on. 2 is a schematic diagram of generating a first search result page by searching for "tomato scrambled eggs" as a query word according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, there are at least five search results in the first search result page, and the sort order is fixed. Usually, the search results that are searched during the search process are at least dozens or even hundreds of thousands, and the first page is only a few.

Therefore, if the user wants to display the search result that is not displayed on the first page or the second page, the third page, etc., which cannot be displayed on the first page, the first search result is needed in the first search result. A custom sort instruction is triggered on the page. FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a custom ordering instruction in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 3, the custom sort instruction appears in the form of a plug-in "I want to sort". The user clicks on the plug-in to customize the first search result page including Figure 2.

As mentioned above, the first search result page includes a plurality of search results, and usually the search results appear in the form of words or pictures and cannot be moved. In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to solve the technical problem, each of the retrieval results of the first search result page is converted into each result unit of the position movable by using the solution of step S104.

Then, step S106 is performed to receive a sorting indication input by the user, and perform custom sorting on one or more positions in the converted result units. For example, redefining the position of the original fifth search result in the first search result page, ranking it to the third item, redefining the position of the original first search result, and ranking it to the fourth item, etc. Wait.

To facilitate user-defined sorting, after triggering a custom sorting instruction and converting each search result into a movable individual result unit, a digital sequence identification is performed before each result unit. 4 is a block diagram showing the construction of a result unit using a digital sequence in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Since each search result is converted into each result unit that can be moved, the content of the search result is unchanged, but the content that can be displayed in each result unit is slightly different from the thumbnail display in FIG. 2 due to problems such as display fields. deviation. Referring to Figure 4, each result unit can be distinguished from other result units by a recessive or explicit border.

FIG. 5 illustrates a custom sorting of individual result units in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. schematic diagram. Referring to FIG. 5, the result units in the first search result page are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and after the custom sort, the order is changed to 2, 1, 3, 5, 4.

In the embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the position of one or more of the converted result units may be customized by using a dragging manner according to a sorting instruction input by the user. Dragging can be all dragging, and some of the result units can be dragged. In addition to the drag and drop method, you can also change the sorting of the result unit in other ways, such as setting the result unit order list, changing the order of each result unit in the list, and mapping the sort in the list to the search result page after the change is over. , implement sorting changes, and more.

In any of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the result unit may include a plurality of movable forms such as a card form, a picture form, and the like.

It should be noted that after confirming the sorting, the sorting relationship is saved and exited, and the second search result page is generated and presented to the user. 6 shows a schematic diagram of a second search result page drawn after custom sorting, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Comparing, the contents of FIG. 6 and FIG. 5 are exactly the same. Compared with FIG. 2, the content is the same, but the sorting order is different.

In this embodiment, after the second search result page is drawn according to step S108, the second search result page may be saved for later call processing. The process of subsequent call processing is not the same, depending on where you save it. In the embodiment of the present invention, the saved location has at least two places, one is to save the second search result page directly in the local cache (cookie), and the other is to upload the second search result page to the server, and the server saves. In implementation, the server may establish a correspondence between the user account and the second search result page according to the user account.

The user account is the identity of the user. If the search engine receives the query word initiated by the same user account again (same as the query word that generates the first search result page), the second search result page corresponding to the user account is called into the server. And then feed the search results page back to the user terminal device that logged in to the user account. The user account can be logged in on different browsers of the same user terminal device, and can also be logged in on different user terminal devices. Therefore, the user terminal device that draws the second search result page re-initiates the same query word with the subsequent login user account. The user terminal device may be the same user terminal device or a different user terminal device. Of course, if the user account is logged in and the same query word is initiated again in the logged-in browser, it is also feasible to process the second search result page directly to the server side and feed back to the user account. User mobile terminal.

If the user does not register a user account, they cannot log in on other user terminal devices. The aforementioned And, the second search result page can also be directly saved in the local cookie. In this case, if the search engine receives the same query word again, the second search result page can be directly called and displayed in the local cookie.

In addition to saving, the second search result page can also be copied, forwarded, and/or shared. For example, the URL of Figure 6 can be copied and sent to a friend to inform friends about how to scramble eggs in a few ways. It is not necessary to specify that the fifth one is better, saving time and resources. For another example, the URL of FIG. 6 can be shared to a circle of friends or a space or a microblog, etc., and the user can find the corresponding website by opening the space or circle of friends or microblogs after going home from work, and then can see several kinds of tomato scrambled eggs. The way, there is no need to re-search, and the search results have been custom sorted according to the user's wishes, and the user may quickly see the search items that he most wants to see.
