Abstract
A method prioritizes search results provided to a client according to client satisfaction with previous search results. The method tracks client activity with respect to the previous search results, determines individual client satisfaction for each item according to the tracked client activity, and provides one or more of the items determined to have a high client satisfaction. A user interface provides prioritized search results to a client according to client satisfaction with a previous search similar to the current search. The user interface comprises an item display of at least one item determined to have a high client satisfaction level and at least one item not determined to have a high client satisfaction level.
