Abstract

Systems and methods are described herein for generating enhanced search results utilizing third-party website content within a search engine provided by an electronic catalog of a service provider. This content may be collected in advance of query processing and analyzed to identify a category indicating some attribute of the content (e.g., terms mentioned, topics discussed, object depicted in images/videos/3D data of the content, etc.). Items may be matched to the website through analyzing the textual and/or visual representation data of the website to textual and/or visual representation data associated with an item offered within the electronic catalog. A query may be subsequently received and a third-party website may be identified as being relevant to the search query. In response to the query, the third-party website may be included in a search result list along with images and/or text identifying items pertaining to that website.
