Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an input of n-grams from a client device, and identifying media items having keywords that match the n-grams from a media-item index that indexes a plurality of media items in association with respective keywords. A media-item score for each of the identified media items is calculated, and one or more of the identified media items having media-item scores greater than a threshold media-item score are returned to the client device.
