Abstract
A system and method for searching resources is disclosed. Each resource is associated with one or more pictograms. The pictorial questions (pictions) are created by searching a network of pictions and displaying associated pictograms. The selections of pictograms define a path of linked resources. The resource paths are computed as flows and used to update resource network connections. A user's prior selection(s) of resources are used as flow sources for result ordering. The ratio of the number of times the pictogram was displayed versus the number of times it was clicked rates can be utilized as selection criteria in an evolutionary algorithm to optimize pictograms. The disclosed system and method can also display local goods and services through a kiosk.
