Abstract

A ranked list of first search results based on a search query may be associated with a first search category, and each first search result may be associated with a first score. A ranked list of second search results based on the search query may be associated with a second, different search category, and a second search result may be associated with a second score. A final second score may be determined based on the second score and a function that maps scores associated with the second search category to scores associated with the first search category, information may be inserted relating to the ranked list of second search results at a position within the ranked list of first search results to form a set of search results, and the set of search results may be provided.
