Abstract
Obtaining search results responsive to a query, each search result identifying a respective resource and each resource having a respective rank determined by a primary ranking algorithm. The method includes obtaining primary user feedback data and secondary user feedback data for the resource. The primary and secondary user feedback data representing previous user interactions with the resource when the resource was presented as a search result responsive to the query. The method also includes applying a weight to the secondary user feedback data, the weight being at least partially based on a threshold quantity of the primary user feedback data. The method also includes aggregating the primary user feedback data and the weighted secondary user feedback data and modifying the respective rank of the resource as a search result for the query based at least partially on the aggregated data.
