Abstract

Disclosed methods and systems improve search results by recency boosting customer support content for a customer self-help system associated with one or more financial management systems. The customer self-help system retrieves content relevance from a variety of sources, such as media outlets, taxation agencies and news feeds for the financial management system. The customer self-help system generates content relevance weights from the content relevance data, and applies the content relevance weights to customer support content maintained by the customer self-help system. In response to receiving a search query from a user, the customer self-help system provides relevant portions of customer support content that has been recency boosted (e.g., adjusted by the content relevance weights), to increase the likelihood that the customer support content provided to the user is relevant to the user's search query.
