Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for ranking search results. One of the methods includes receiving a search result obtained in response to a query, wherein the search result identifies a resource and has an associated score S. A determination is made that users prefer newer resources over older resources for the query and that the resource is a new resource. A new score S′ is associated with the resource in place of S, based on the determination that users prefer newer resources over older resources for the query and that the resource is a new resource.
