Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A computer-implemented method includes receiving a search query from a remote device, determining if the search query includes location-related information, and if the search query includes location-related information, generating a first result set based on the search query and the location-related information, and if the search query does not include location-related information, determining whether a location indicator is associated with the remote device, and if a location indicator is associated with the remote device, generating a second result set based on the search query and the location indicator.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented system comprising: a request processor configured to receive a search query from a user device and to identify location-related information that is associated with at least one of the user device and the search query; a search engine to receive requests from the request processor to generate a location-based set of search results and a non-location-based set of search results, and in response, to generate: the location-based set of…
