Abstract:
Methods, system, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for selecting between location-specific and global search results. One method includes receiving a query and a location identifier identifying a geographic location, obtaining a location-specific set of search results responsive to the query and a global set of search results responsive to the query, and determining a cluster score for the global set of search results. The method further includes selecting either the global set of search results or the location-specific set of search results as a primary set of search results according to one or more scores for the location-specific and global sets of search results, wherein the one or more scores include the cluster score, and identifying one or more identified search results in the primary set of search results for presentation in response to the query.
