Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-executable instructions for synthesizing facts from multiple sources. A user search string associated with a topic is received. Queries associated with the user search string are generated. Website content is queried, using the plurality of queries associated with the user search string, to generate results. The results are ranked based on a first feature. The results are filtered based on the first feature to generate intermediate results. The intermediate results are ranked based on a second feature. The second feature is most costly to calculate than the first feature. The filtered intermedia results are filtered based on the second feature to generate final results. Distinct facts from the final results are determined. The distinct facts include content from different URLs. The distinct facts associated with the topic are returned.
