    Abstract: The present invention provides a search capability to allow a user to easily lo­cate a preference control, file, folder, control, or other system resource or data item associated with a search result. In one embodiment, a user enters a search term (or a portion thereof) in a search field associated with one or more resource types that may be searched. The user may be presented with a pop-up menu containing a list of likely matches. The user selects the desired preference control from the pop-up menu, and the corresponding preference pane, or other container, containing the se­lected data item, control, or other resource is displayed. In one aspect, as the user enters the search term (or portion thereof), certain icons are highlighted. Specifi­cally, those icons that represent containers containing matching data items (such as preference panes having controls that match the search term) are highlighted. Dif­ferent types of highlighting can be used depending on the degree of certainty as to which container is likely to contain the correct match.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提供了一种搜索能力,以允许用户容易地定位与搜索结果相关联的偏好控制,文件,文件夹,控制或其他系统资源或数据项。 在一个实施例中,用户在与可被搜索的一种或多种资源类型相关联的搜索字段中输入搜索项(或其一部分)。 可以向用户呈现包含可能匹配的列表的弹出菜单。 用户从弹出菜单中选择所需的偏好控件,并且显示包含所选数据项,控件或其他资源的对应的首选项窗格或其他容器。 一方面,当用户输入搜索词(或其部分)时,突出显示某些图标。 特别地,突出显示表示包含匹配数据项的容器(例如具有与搜索项匹配的控制的偏好窗格)的那些图标。 可以使用不同类型的突出显示,这取决于对于哪个容器可能包含正确匹配的确定性的程度。

    Abstract: Information presented to a user via an information access system is ranked according to a prediction of the likely degree of relevance to the user's interests. A profile of interests is stored for each user having access to the system. Items of information to be presented to a user are ranked according to their likely degree of relevance to that user and displayed in order of ranking. The prediction of relevance is carried out by combining data pertaining to the content of each item of information with other data regarding correlations of interests between users. A value indicative of the content of a document can be added to another value which defines user correlation, to produce a ranking score for a document. Alternatively, multiple regression analysis or evolutionary programming can be carried out with respect to various factors pertaining to document content and user correlation, to generate a prediction of relevance. The user correlation data is obtained from feedback information provided by users when they retrieve items of information. Preferably, the user provides an indication of interest in each document which he or she retrieves from the system.

    Abstract: An information access system stores items of information in an unstructured global database. When a user requests access to the system, the system delivers to that user an identification of only those items of information which are believed to be relevant to the user's interest. The determination as to the items of information that are relevant to a user is carried out by ranking each available item in accordance with any one or more techniques. In one approach, the content of each document is matched with an adaptive profile of a user's interest. In another approach, a feedback mechanism is provided to allow users to indicate their degree of interest in each item of information. These indications are used to determine whether other users, who have similar or dissimilar interests, will find a particular item to be relevant.
