Abstract
Search result interleaving may be provided. First, a first list comprising online results may be received. Next, a second list comprising local results may be received. Then a subsequence common to the first list and the second list may be determined using a longest common subsequence algorithm. Next, an interleaved list may be created using the determined subsequence and a smart merge interleave algorithm to interleave the first list and the second list without hurting relevance.
