Search patent of the week: Generative Search Engine Result Documents
Description
This episode outlines a Microsoft patent for a generative search engine results system designed to create interactive and comprehensive search result documents using large generative models (LGMs). The system addresses the limitations of traditional search by structuring information into organized topics with visual layouts and answer cards. It operates by receiving a user query, obtaining search links, and then using multiple LGMs to generate unformatted content, match answer cards to relevant sections, and create layout guidelines before producing a formatted document. The system also details strategies for handling conflicting information, incorporating user personalization, validating answer accuracy, and capturing user intent, all while discussing implications for content creation and search engine optimization.https://www.kopp-online-marketing.com/patents-papers/generative-search-engine-results-documents
