Abstract

A method and system for intelligently ranking search results may include receiving a search request containing one or more terms for performing a search, providing the one or more terms for conducting a search, and receiving a search results index containing a list of a plurality of documents, each of the plurality of documents corresponding to one of the one or more terms or to one or more other terms associated with the at least one of the one or more terms. Once the search results index is received, the method and system may access a plurality of properties associated with at least one of the plurality of documents, the plurality of properties including a user category associated with the at least one of the plurality of documents, calculating a relevance score for the at least one of the plurality of documents based on at least one of the plurality of properties, selecting a subset of the plurality of documents for presenting to a user based at least on the calculated relevance score, and providing the subset of plurality of documents for presenting to the user.
