20090043893 | Multiple Resource Control-Advisor for Management of Distributed or Web-Based Systems - A system and method are provided for autonomic system management in a computing system containing system resources including network resources and multiple resource demands, or processes. The computing system may be a stream-processing system or other real-time computer management system, such as workload management, or a virtualization engine. The system and method enables achieving a better level of performance than would occur in the computing system using only existing mechanism. It permits, with very low computational overhead, achieving or driving the system closer to a user-defined system performance objective. To do so, a system performance equation is defined to determine a level of performance of the system as a function of the allocation of two or more system resources among a plurality of system resource demands or processes. From this system performance equation, a plurality of resource-specific change equations is derived. Each resource-specific change equation is capable of calculating changes in the level of performance of the system attributable to changes in the allocation of one of the system resources. The resource-specific change equation yielding the greatest change in the level of system performance at a given allocation of all of the system resources and the system resource associated with the identified resource-specific change equation are identified. The allocation of the identified associated system resource to at least one system resource demand to provide the largest increase in the level of performance of the system, and allocations for all system resources are adjusted in accordance with the modified allocation of the identified associated system resource. | 02-12-2009 |
20110016108 | SEARCH RESULT PLUSBOX INCLUDING RESTRICTED RESULTS - Systems, methods and computer program products for generating initial search results based on a search query and additional search results using a control element are described. The control element, when activated by a user of a client device, may execute a call to a server which fetches the additional results to the client device. Alternatively, the additional results may be pre-populated and displayed only when the control element is activated. In some implementations, the additional results may include results that are from the same source as the initial search results. | 01-20-2011 |
20110137933 | RESOURCE SEARCH OPERATIONS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying query-relevant content in a resource identified by a search result in response to the query. In one aspect, a method includes identifying resource search tidbits for a resource, each resource search tidbit being eligible for a resource search operation for the resource. The resource search tidbits are provided with search results to a client device. In response to a user selecting a resource identified by a search result, the client device identifies text in the resource matching the query-relevant text of the resource search tidbit and performs a resource search operation on the resource if the identified text meets a search operation threshold condition. | 06-09-2011 |
20110276562 | VISUALIZING SITE STRUCTURE AND ENABLING SITE NAVIGATION FOR A SEARCH RESULT OR LINKED PAGE - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for attaching a visual representation of hierarchical data associated with a resource identified by a search system to the resource. The resource and hierarchical data can be presented to a user as a search result. In some implementations, breadcrumbs that describe a traversal path toward a starting or entry page associated with the resource can represent the hierarchical data. | 11-10-2011 |
20130179437 | RESOURCE SEARCH OPERATIONS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying query-relevant content in a resource identified by a search result in response to the query. In one aspect, a method includes identifying resource search tidbits for a resource, each resource search tidbit being eligible for a resource search operation for the resource. The resource search tidbits are provided with search results to a client device. In response to a user selecting a resource identified by a search result, the client device identifies text in the resource matching the query-relevant text of the resource search tidbit and performs a resource search operation on the resource if the identified text meets a search operation threshold condition. | 07-11-2013 |
20130275422 | SEARCH RESULT PREVIEWS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing search result page previews. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data that specify a set of search results responsive to a search query. Query-relevant content is selected to be included in a page preview for at least one of the search results. In turn, data that cause presentation of the page preview are provided. The data provided can cause presentation of the query-relevant content at an initial zoom level and at a higher zoom level, where the initial zoom level is a zoom level at which both the query-relevant content and other content from the resource are presented. The page preview can include a page tear that defines multiple portions of the page preview for a resource. | 10-17-2013 |
20150026144 | COMBINING CONTENT WITH A SEARCH RESULT - Methods, systems, and apparatus include computer programs encoded on a computer-readable storage medium, including a method for providing content. A search query is received. Search results responsive to the query are identified, including identifying a first search result in a top set of search results that is associated with a brand. Based at least in part on the query, one or more eligible content items are identified for delivery along with the search results responsive to the query. A determination is made as to when at least one of the eligible content items is associated with a same brand as the brand associated with the first search result. The first search result and one of the determined at least one eligible content items are combined into a combined content item and providing the combined content item as a search result responsive to the request. | 01-22-2015 |
20150154266 | Providing Leaf Page Sublinks In Response To A Search Query - Methods and apparatus for providing leaf pages as sublinks for a webpage in response to a search query. A search query may be received from a user and search results obtained based on the search query. A plurality of leaf pages associated with a webpage of the search results may be identified. The webpage may be provided as a main search result to the search query and sublinks to the leaf pages may be provided as sublinks of the main search result. At least one category of the leaf pages may be identified and the sublinks to the leaf pages may be sorted according to a sorting scheme of the category. | 06-04-2015 |
