Abstract

Apparatus, systems and methods for demoting repetitive search results are disclosed. Search results that are identified in both first set of search results and a second set of search results are determined to be repetitive search results. One or more of the repetitive search results can be demoted in the second set of search results. The demotion can be based on a relevancy threshold for the second set of search results.
