Abstract

Search results of a search query on a network are ranked according to an additional ranking function for the prior probability of relevance of a document based on document property. The ranking function can be adjusted based on a comparison of the language that a document is written in and the language that is associated with a search query. Both query-independent values and query-dependent values can be used to rank the document.
