Abstract

See full text

A method and computer program product are provided for implementing search engine operational modes. A search request is received from a user. Responsive to the search request, an impatient score for the user is determined. Responsive to the impatient score, a search engine operational mode is adjusted for implementing the search request. Multiple factors are evaluated to determine the impatient score for the user. These factors include selected ones of the following: the search words in the search request; presence of predefined control words in the search request; presence of predefined impatient words in the search request; a number of searches by the user during a search session; a time between searches; user connection speed; and user entry selections. Responsive to the impatient score, the search engine operational mode is adjusted by identifying the impatient score within a first define range and performing synonym augmentation of the search request; identifying the impatient score within a second define range and ordering search results by response time.
