Overview

  • Transparent Boosting (Radar)
  • Histogram Facets
  • High Resolution Heatmaps
  • Index Statistics
  • Outside of the SERP

Transparent Boosting

  • Exposes ranking complexity in a simple

format

  • Allows tweaking of the ranking algorithm

with no necessary knowledge of what’s under the hood

Radar Chart

  • By plotting each boost as a scalable vector
  • n a 2D plane we can see the impact each

boost has on the ranking.

  • By letting users manipulate the vectors, they

gain more control over the ranking

Histogram Facets

  • Provide visual indicators of a field’s

cardinality

  • For date ranges, this can reveal periods of

higher activity which may make it easier to select a date range

High Resolution Heatmaps

Heatmap Limitations

  • Slow
  • Limited to lower resolution
  • Might blow up
  • But...

What if...

  • Execute multiple parallel requests and

“stitch” the resulting image

WMS

A Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium in 1999 for serving georeferenced map images over the Internet.[1] These images are typically produced by a map server from data provided by a GIS database - Wikipedia

HighRes Heatmaps

  • Setup an API to provide WMS tiles
  • Control over the rendering allows for

multiple styles

  • The client side WMS source is responsible

for stitching the images

Index Statistics

  • Visualizations can help you understand the

data inside your index

  • Transform a dump of textual information to a

meaningful image

Thinking Outside the SERP

  • Think outside of a listing of search results,

maybe outside of a web browser altogether

  • Unity/UE4 can drive engaging experiences

powered by search

Outside of the SERP

  • Augmented Reality

search experiences

  • Dynamic Museums with

MLT based on what you’ve spent time looking at
