ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for detecting distracting search engine results are described. In one embodiment, the method includes monitoring the behavior of a user with respect to a group of images that are related in some manner to a query, and using the monitored behavior to calculate the distractiveness of a particular image. The method also includes adding to a group of images related to a query a set of images that are unrelated to the query and monitoring the behavior of a user with respect to all the images.
