Abstract
Methods and systems for improved categorization of queries are disclosed. In one aspect, first queries having query results limited to a particular category are identified. Second queries including a first query are also identified. For identified second queries, a pattern is generated based on the second query and the included first query, and a rank of the first query's particular category in results for the second query and a percentage of the second query's results having a category equivalent to the included first query's particular category are determined. The ranks and percentages are aggregated for matching patterns, and second patterns with aggregated ranks and percentages meeting a criterion are determined. Results for a third query are limited to a category equivalent to a particular category for a first query included in the third query, and then transmitted over a computer network to a client device.
