Systems and methods to search with a mobile device

Abstract

Systems and methods to search with a mobile device are described. The system may receive a request, over a network, from a device. The request may include search information to search a database and location information including a first location that identifies a location of the device. The system may further generate search results based on the search information that describes items and arranges their descriptions based on the search information, the first location, and a current event corresponding to the location of the device. The system may further arrange the descriptions of the items as a first arrangement based on an order associated with a second location that is associated with a historical event that matches the current event. The system may further communicate a user interface, over the network, to the device. The user interface include the descriptions of the items in accordance with the first arrangement.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 at least one processor; and   a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations, comprising:   receiving a request in association with a computing device operated by a user, the request including search information and location information that identifies a location associated with the computing device;   searching a network-based marketplace for purchasable items that correspond to the search information and the location information;   receiving results of the search, the results including the purchasable items that correspond to the search information and the location information;   categorizing, into a plurality of categories, the purchasable items included in the results of the search;   arranging the plurality of categories into a particular order, by:   identifying, from a search information directory, prior purchased items associated with the location and purchased by other users through the network-based marketplace; and   identifying, from the search information directory, a count of the prior purchased items per category of the plurality of categories;   using the count of the prior purchased items per category to order the plurality of categories from most likely to be purchased to least likely to be purchased; and   communicating, over a network, a user interface of the network-based marketplace to the computing device, the user interface presenting the categories in accordance with the particular order, wherein the purchasable items included in the results of the search are accessible to the user operating the computing device via the categories presented in the user interface in accordance with the particular order, for enabling the user to purchase one or more of the purchasable items via the network-based marketplace.
