Embodiment Construction

[0025] The following detailed description of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements. Meanwhile, the following detailed description does not limit the present invention.

[0026] In some countries, such as China, for example, map data and yellow pages data cannot be obtained from a single provider but must be obtained from several different providers. Due to output limitations, it is not possible to obtain detailed map data to reproduce a map of an area or to obtain the actual latitude and longitude of addresses within the area. Therefore, address approximation can be used for geocoding of addresses. When sending results from a local search to the user, the local results page may include a list of related results and a pointer to the map provider server (third party). A map provider can be responsible for generating the map displayed to the user.

Abstract

A system receives yellow page data, map provider data, and document data in response to a local search query, and geocodes the data to assign a geographic identifier and to match at least one address associated with the local search query. The system also indexes the geocoded data to determine business information and location information associated with the local search query. The system further provides local search results and a map based on the indexed data.

Description

technical field [0001] Implementations described herein relate generally to information retrieval, and more specifically, to identifying local search results. Background technique [0002] The World Wide Web ("Web") contains a vast amount of information. However, locating the desired portion of the information can be complicated. This problem is compounded by the fact that the amount of information on the Web is growing rapidly and the number of new users unskilled in Web searches. [0003] The search system attempts to return hyperlinks to web pages of interest to the user. Typically, search systems base their determination of a user's interests on search terms entered by the user (referred to as a search query). The goal of a search system may be to provide users with links to high-quality relevant results (eg, web pages) based on a search query. Typically, search systems do this by matching terms in a search query to a corpus of pre-stored web pages. Web pages that c...
