Abstract
A disclosed system, method, and computer-readable storage medium automatically identify, cluster, and cross-reference various editions of an application. The editions are clustered and associated with a canonical application structure describing the general functionality of each edition in the cluster. When an application search query is received from a client device, one or more canonical applications corresponding to the query are identified and provided to the client device. Enhancing the relevancy of search results by merging several editions of an application into one canonical application structure reduces unwanted and redundant results on a search result page.
