Abstract

See full text

Embodiment of the invention relate to a computer-implemented method for providing augmented searches for entities to a user, the method comprising obtaining, at a server computer operated by an entity search system, user data related to a user, and obtaining entity data related to a plurality of entities. Then, the entity search system receives a query for a search for relevant entities from the user. The method then further comprises searching for a set of relevant entities based on the query, entity data, and user data, determining a set of criteria for an initial order of relevance, and determining an order of relevance of the set of relevant entities based on the set of criteria. The set of relevant entities or order of relevance may be augmented by obtaining feedback data from the user, thereby providing an augmented search for relevant entities to the user.
