Abstract
Methods and systems disclosed herein describe customizing searching. Search queries may be customized according to a user's preferences. A user may emphasize or indicate that additional weight should be given to one or more terms in a search query. Terms that are weighted higher may have a larger impact on the results that are returned in response to the search query. In addition to changing the terms in a search query, a user may provide a weight for each term. Each term in a search query may be weighted to varying degrees, giving a user more control over the results that are returned. The weights may be used with machine learning techniques to generate a vector representation of a search query. The vector representation of the search query may be compared with vector representations of search objects to determine results that match the search query.
