Abstract
A method for retrieving information includes receiving a search query within an information corpus. Search results for the search query may be identified. A score for each of a plurality of data items identified in the search results may be generated. The score for a corresponding one of the plurality of data items may be based on a score dependent on the search query within the information corpus. The score may be also based on at least one score independent of the search query. The at least one score independent of the search query may include a ranking signal associated with a World Wide Web (WWW) search of the corresponding one of the plurality of data items using a second information corpus. The search results may be ranked based on the generated score.
