Systems and methods to adapt search results

Abstract

Methods and systems to adapt search results are described. The system receives search information that includes a constraint over a network. The system generates a first search result based on the search information. The system communicates a first user interface, over the network, to the client device. The first user interface is formatted based on first formatting level information. The system receives a first request, over the network, from the client device. The first request includes a description of a first interaction with the first search result. The system identifies a first formatting level based on at least one interaction that was received previous to receiving the first request. The system transitions to a second formatting level based on the first formatting level and the first interaction. The second formatting level is associated with second formatting level information.

         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first formatting level is associated with definition information that includes a size of a first area that is predetermined, a number of data items that are displayed in the first area that is predetermined, and a number of elements to display for a single data item that is predetermined. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the second formatting level is associated with definition information that includes a size of a second area that is predetermined, a number of data items that are displayed in the second area that is predetermined, and a number of elements to display for a single data item that is predetermined, and wherein the number of data items that are displayed that is associated with the first formatting level is greater than the number of data items displayed that is associated with the second formatting level, and wherein the number of elements to display for a single data item that is associated with the first formatting level is less than the number of elements to display for a single data item that is associated with the second formatting level. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the processing module is configured to skip at least one formatting level based, at least in part, on the previous interactions received from the user. 
     
     
         10 . A method comprising:
 receiving search information, over a network, from a client device, the search information including at least one constraint;   generating a first search result based on the search information, the first search result including a first plurality of data items;   communicating a first user interface, over the network, to the client device, the first user interface being formatted based on first formatting level information;   receiving a first request, over the network, from the client device, the first request including a description of a first interaction with the first search result;   identifying a first formatting level based on at least one interaction that was received previous to receiving the first request;   transitioning to a second formatting level based on the first formatting level and the first interaction, the second formatting level being associated with second formatting level information; and   communicating a second user interface, over the network, to the client device, the second user interface being formatted based on the second formatting level information.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first interaction is selected from a group of interactions including scrolling a user interface down to display additional data items included in the first plurality of data items and scrolling the user interface up to display additional data items included in the first plurality of data items. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , further including:
 formatting the second user interface based on the second formatting level.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the first interaction is selected from a group of interactions including removing a keyword from the at least one constraint and removing a category from the at least one constraint.
