Search Interface Improvements

Each search keyword sets the path toward a target, more or less usefully. The context for sorting Nth-order keywords (popularity, semantic clusters, time period) has everything to do with potential - not just ‘in the search,’ but in the scope of learning. Visual representation of next-in-series (Nth) keywords can radically improve and guide development of search paths. Advertisements and corporate affiliation, the economic stratum that funds Search, can continue to take a useful position within a visually-improved search structure. Adwords frame search context underneath, reinforcing the bedrock of economy in the presence of service, and/or in a right-margin column. Each of these bottom and side spaces has semantic weight in this new visual scheme, based upon the orientation of visual syntax (described below). Product promotion gains increased value to the search user because of the improved specificity of the information presently searched. Take for instance a search on the “French revolution” - a wide range of search space exists. A popularity rank of 2nd-order keywords may deal with revolutionary idea un related to France, and queries related to shortcutting grade-school homework. A timeline ordering of keywords would show 2nd-order words along a timeline mostly consisting of dates surrounding the period, its culmination and subsequent fallout. Semantic clustering of 2nd-order keywords may show popular historical events, like the fraternal societies, the bastille, and popular contemporary writings & tourism. Clustering these search terms in 2D space allows for muted subclustering of 3rd-order keywords off each the major clusters, relative to the 1st-order keyword in the query. Timelines, by their linear nature, could have 3rd-order keywords above and below the line. The visual syntax will doubtlessly evolve with cultural synergies. Similar Nth-order keyword selection could be based on popular search-relates categories, such as twitter posts, product indices, news, scholarly publications - potentially even images.
