Abstract: A device implementing a system for determining an answer to a question includes a processor configured to receive a question from a client device, and send the question to a first information domain comprising plural search subdomains, each of the plural search subdomains being configured to provide a respective candidate answer to the question in a format that differs from those provided by the other search subdomains of the plural search subdomains. The processor is further configured to receive, in response to sending the question, the candidate answer from each of the plural search subdomains, and provide at least one of the candidate answers to the client device, for providing an answer to the question based on the at least one of the candidate answers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that re-rank a plurality of search results received from a search server on the device is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives, with a browser of the device, a search query from a user. The device further sends the search query to a search server. In addition, the device receives the plurality of search results from the search server, wherein the plurality of search results is ranked according to a first ranking. The device also retrieves browser history of the user, wherein the browser history is collected on the device without revealing the browser history to the search server. The device further re-ranks the plurality of search results according to a second ranking based on at least the browser history. In addition, the device presents the plurality of search results using the second ranking.

Abstract translation: 描述了重新排列从设备上的搜索服务器接收到的多个搜索结果的设备的方法和设备。 在示例性实施例中，设备利用设备的浏览器接收来自用户的搜索查询。 该设备还将搜索查询发送到搜索服务器。 另外，设备从搜索服务器接收多个搜索结果，其中多个搜索结果根据第一排名进行排名。 该设备还检索用户的浏览器历史记录，其中在设备上收集浏览器历史记录而不向浏览器显示浏览器历史记录。 该设备还根据至少基于浏览器历史的第二排名来重新排列多个搜索结果。 另外，该设备使用第二等级来呈现多个搜索结果。
