1. A computation system coupleable to a network for personalization of search results and search result rankings, the computation system comprising:
a network input and output interface configured to receive at least one query from a respondent or a co-respondent via the network; to transmit a plurality of return queries to the respondent or co-respondent via the network; to receive a first plurality of responses to the plurality of return queries from the respondent or co-respondent via the network; and to transmit personalized search results and search result rankings to the respondent or co-respondent via the network;
at least one data storage device configured to store the plurality of return queries; and
one or more processors coupled to the at least one data storage device and to the network input and output interface, the one or more processors configured to access the at least one data storage device and, using the at least one query, to select the plurality of return queries for transmission; to search the at least one data storage device for corresponding one or more second pluralities of responses to the plurality of return queries from one or more co-respondents or respondents, respectively; to comparatively pair-wise score the first plurality of responses to the plurality of return queries against the corresponding one or more second pluralities of responses to the plurality of return queries and generate a plurality of pair-wise alignment scores for a plurality of respondent and co-respondent combinations; to sort and rank the plurality of respondent and co-respondent combinations according to the plurality of pair-wise alignment scores; and the one or more processors further configured to use the sorted and ranked plurality of respondents or co-respondents combinations to generate and output the personalized search results and search result rankings, the personalized search results and search result rankings comprising one or more identifications of sorted and ranked respondents or co-respondents for the co-respondent or respondent, respectively.
