Abstract
Techniques are described herein for using intent to access a domain (i.e., domain intent) to provide more search results that correspond to the domain. For example, a rule may specify a maximum number of search results that are allowed to be provided from a domain (or a host that corresponds to the domain) in response to a search query. Each search query may include any number of ngrams. An ngram is a subsequence of elements in a sequence (e.g., a search query). An intent to access a domain may be determined based on one or more of the ngrams in a search query. A number of search results that correspond to a domain may be increased to be greater than the maximum number based on one or more of the ngrams that are included in the search query being associated with the intent to access the domain.
