ABSTRACT:
Best-bet recommendation may be provided. User behavior associated with a search result may be logged and applied to a relevance classifier. The relevance classifier may determine whether the user behavior indicates that the search result may comprise a best-bet result. A best-bet result may comprise a result associated with a high confidence that the result may be satisfactory to a user. The relevance classifier may be trained according to past searches and user behavior to improve the confidence on best-bet recommendations. Once confidence in a search result is high enough, future searches on the same query may provide the best-bet result to the searching user.
