ABSTRACT:
Provided is a method and system for blending a plurality of search engine results from a respective plurality of search sources into one search engine. A result list of entries is received from each search source. Each result list includes at least, for each entry on the list, a position of the entry, an address of a document, and a relevance score of the document. A determined transformation is applied to the relevance scores of at least a subset of the documents in at least one of the received result lists so as to generate transformed scores. Finally portions of the respective results lists are combined to produce a blended search engine result comprising a blended list of entries. The ordering of the blended list of entries is based, at least in part, on the transformed scores of the documents.
