dominant zones . in fig3 a , document 301 comprises a dominant zone 302 and a non - dominant zone 303 . similarly , in fig3 b , document 311 comprises a dominant zone 312 and a non - dominant zone 313 . note that in one embodiment , there may be more than one dominant and non - dominant zone . note that the dominant and non - dominant zones may be in any format . in a preferred embodiment , the dominant zone is a title . in one preferred embodiment , the zones may be further processed . for example , in the dominant zone 302 , the phrase “ state of colorado ” 304 may be reduced to the equivalent word “ colorado ” by the zone processing logic 112 ( fig1 ). thus the dominant zone 302 comprises of only one word “ colorado ”. the phrases and their equivalent words may be stored in the storage unit 140 ( fig1 ). in this stage , the zone processing logic 112 ( fig1 ) may further process the text in the dominant zones . the zone identification logic 112 ( fig1 ) may identify adjectives within the dominant zones using natural language processing techniques and the found adjectives may be treated as if they are part of non - dominant zone instead of the dominant zone . for example , a dominant zone comprising of text “ blue bag ”, the word “ blue ” may be identified as an adjective and the word may not be considered as part of the dominant zone . thus , the dominant zone comprises of only one word “ bag ”. in another preferred embodiment , the processed zones may further be tokenized to terms by the tokenization logic 113 ( fig1 ). the process of tokenization into terms may include , but not limited to , removing of stop words , less value adding words , normalization , stemming , lemmatization , and combinations thereof . stop words are words which are common words in a language and are of little value in helping selecting documents . example of stop words may be , but not limited to , “ a ”, “ an ”, “ of ”, “ is ” etc ., a word is of less value because of the word itself or because of its position in the dominant zone . examples of words which of less value by themselves may be , but not limited to , “ inc ”, “ llc ” etc ., examples of words which are of less value because of position may be , but not limited to , “ honorable ” before a noun or words which occur within parentheses in the dominant zone . in one embodiment , the less value adding words may be considered as if they are part of non - dominant zone . for example , in processed dominant zone 302 , the word “ colorado ” 304 may be tokenized and normalized by the tokenization logic 113 ( fig1 ) to “ colorado ”. in normalization , phrases or words having the same meaning i . e . words that are equivalent to each other may be stored in such a way that a search query of either of the phrases or words would pull out similar results . the dominant zone 302 of document 301 is tokenized to only one term “ colorado ”. the dominant zone 312 of document 311 comprises the words “ university ” 314 , “ colorado ” 315 , “ colorado ” 316 which are tokenized to the terms “ university ”, “ colorado ”, “ colorado ” respectively . the word “ of ” in the dominant zone 312 is ignored as it is a stop word . similarly the text in the non dominant zone is tokenized by the tokenization logic 113 ( fig1 ). fig4 depicts an exemplary processing , tokenization , score assigning and score calculation 400 of the terms of document 301 and 311 . in this embodiment , the scores are assigned to the distinct terms of the dominant zones based on the total number of distinct terms in said zone . more specifically , in this embodiment , the numeric value of a term in a dominant zone scores is inversely proportional to the number of distinct terms . for the text in the dominant zone 302 ( fig3 ), the processing , tokenization and scoring is presented in the row 410 . the terms and scores for the terms in the zone 302 ( fig3 ) are presented at the intersection of row 410 and column 404 . since the zone comprises of only one distinct term “ colorado ”, a score of 1 may be assigned to the term . for the text in the dominant zone 312 ( fig3 ), the processing , tokenization and scoring is presented in the row 411 . the terms in the zone 312 ( fig3 ) are presented at the intersection of row 411 and column 404 . since the zone comprises of only two distinct terms , “ university ” and “ colorado ”, a score of 0 . 9 may be assigned to each term . hence , as the distinct terms in the dominant zone 302 ( fig3 ) is lower than the distinct terms in dominant zone 312 ( fig3 ), the scores for terms in dominant zone 302 are greater than or equal to scores for terms in dominant zone 312 ( fig3 ). for the text in the non - dominant zone 303 ( fig3 ), the processing , tokenization and scoring is presented in the row 412 . for simplicity , only one term is shown in row 412 . since the zone is a non - dominant zone , an exemplary score of 0 . 1 may be assigned to each distinct term in the zone that is also not present in the dominant zone . note that the scores of the terms in the non - dominant zones may be always lower than the scores of the terms in the dominant zone . for the text in the non - dominant zone 313 ( fig3 ), the processing , tokenization and scoring is presented in the row 413 . for simplicity , only one term is shown in row 413 . since the zone is a non - dominant zone , a score of 0 . 1 may be assigned to each term in the zone . significantly , the term “ colorado ” 317 ( fig3 ) will be ignored and not be assigned a score as the term is duplicate of “ colorado ” 315 ( fig3 ) of the dominant zone . in one embodiment , distinct terms present in the non - dominant zone , but present in the dominant zone may not be ignored . note that the data in terms ( score ) column 404 along with an identifier to the document may be stored as index in the storage unit 140 ( fig1 ). the index may be pre - sorted by the terms . the non - dominant zone term scores are uniform across the documents and are always lower than the dominant zone term scores . for example , in one embodiment , if there is only one term in the processed dominant zone , a score of 1 may be assigned to that term . if there are two distinct terms in the processed dominant zone , then each distinct term may be assigned a score of 0 . 9 . if there are three terms in a processed dominant zone , each distinct term may be assigned a score of 0 . 8 and so on . if there are eight or more distinct terms in the dominant zone each distinct term may be assigned a score of 0 . 3 . the terms in the non - dominant zone have a score less than 0 . 1 . a more generalized exemplary method of scoring terms is illustrated below . let the score assigned to a single distinct term when there is only one distinct term in the dominant zone be “ x1 ”. the score assigned to each distinct term when there are two distinct terms in the dominant zone be “ x2 ”. the score assigned to each distinct term when there are three distinct terms in the dominant zone be “ x3 ” and so on . let the score for each distinct term in the non dominant zone be “ n ”. the conditions that have to be satisfied are a user search query comprising of keyword ( s ) is first tokenized to terms by tokenization logic 113 ( fig1 ). the search engine logic 115 ( fig1 ) assigns a score to each document based on the summation of each search query term score in the document . a document with a higher score may be ranked higher for the query . fig5 depicts an exemplary search results page for the search query “ colorado ” 501 comprising search results 502 , 503 , 504 and 505 for the query 501 . the score calculation is done based on the exemplary score calculation as explained under fig4 . search result 502 comprises of document 301 ( fig3 ). the query term “ colorado ” has a score of 1 in the document 301 ( fig3 ). hence , the document score is 1 ( summation of all query terms scores in the document ), which is the highest for any document and it may be ranked first . search result 503 comprises of document 311 ( fig3 ). similar to document 301 score calculation above , the score for the document 311 for the search query “ colorado ” is 0 . 9 . the score for the search result 504 document is also 0 . 9 . in case of a tie in document scores , the popularity of non - query terms in the dominant zone may be used to break the tie . popularity of a term may be calculated based on the number of term a particular term appears in all the documents . in another embodiment , the popularity of terms may be calculated on the number of times a term appears in user queries . assume that the popularity of the term “ university ” is higher than “ history ”, search result 503 is ranked higher than the search result 504 . the score for the search result 505 document is 0 . 1 and is ranked lower than all other search results . in another embodiment , the lower the popularity of non - query terms the higher the rank of the document . fig6 a is a flowchart illustrating one method in accordance with the present disclosure . in step 602 , the search engine unit 110 ( fig1 ) may read the documents . for each document step 604 - 610 may be performed by the search engine unit 110 ( fig1 ). in step 604 , the zone identification logic 111 ( fig1 ) may identify the different zones in the document . in step 606 , the zone processing logic 112 ( fig1 ) may process the zones . in step 608 , the tokenization logic 113 ( fig1 ) may tokenize the content in the zones to terms . in step 610 , the score calculation logic 114 ( fig1 ) may compute scores for the each distinct term and store the document , term and score information into an index . fig6 b is a flowchart illustrating one method in accordance with the present disclosure . in step 650 , the search engine logic 115 ( fig1 ) accepts user query . in step 652 , the tokenization logic 113 ( fig1 ) may tokenize the search query keyword ( s ) to terms . in step 654 , scores may be calculated for each document from the summation of all query terms scores in the document . in step 656 , the documents are ranked according to the document scores . in step 658 , the documents are returned to the user according to the document ranks . the claimed subject matter has been provided here with reference to one or more features or embodiments . those skilled in the art will recognize and appreciate that , despite of the detailed nature of the exemplary embodiments provided here , changes and modifications may be applied to said embodiments without limiting or departing from the generally intended scope . these and various other adaptations and combinations of the embodiments provided here are within the scope of the disclosed subject matter as defined by the claims and their full set of equivalents .
