Abstract
In one embodiment, a method detects that a web browser of a user has accessed an annotated webpage. The annotated webpage comprises one or more webpage elements comprising a set of selectable portions. The method detects that a user has utilized a user input system to select a selectable portion of a web-page element. The method identifies the selectable portion of the web-page element. The method generates a list of identifiers based on the identity of the selectable portion. With the list of identifiers, the method searches a database of annotated web-page elements managed by the proxy server system. The method retrieves a set of returned annotated web-page elements from the database. The method assigns a similarity score to each returned annotated web-page element. The similarity score is based on a similarity of the selectable web-page element with a respective returned annotated web-page element. The method ranks each returned web-page elements based the similarity score. The method creates a deck of ranked-returned web-page elements. The method presents the deck of ranked-returned web-page element to the web browser of the user. Each ranked-returned web-page element comprises…
