Abstract

A computer implemented method, computer-readable medium and system for deciding which external corpora, such as verticals, to integrate into primary Internet search engine results in response to a query is disclosed. Offline query-related data and user feedback data is incorporated. A probabilistic estimate is formed of the relevance of the verticals to the query.
