Abstract
A system and method for implementing file searches. In an illustrative embodiment, the method includes accepting signals from a user-input device to define a search query. The search query is then used to identify a plurality of files, which comprise search results. The search results are then ordered according to file-usage criteria. In a more specific embodiment, files that have been accessed by others rank higher in the search results than files that have never been accessed. One or more access logs may be employed to facilitate adjusting future search results and file-access behaviors based on past file-access information. In this specific embodiment, the method employs information pertaining to who accessed a given file, what they did when they accessed the file, the time at which they accessed the file, and/or the duration of the file access to automatically obtain and/or rank search results.
