Japanese term

類型化しておいて

Japanese to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) personalized search
Full text: さらに検索エンジンの内部では、ユーザーがこれまでにサービスを利用した履歴を集めて興味の範囲が似ているユーザーを類型化しておいて、類型化された好みを検索結果の並べ方に反映します。

My understanding: Furthermore, the search engine's internal system collects the user's previous use of service, personal history to categorize it with similar ranges of interest, and then reflects these categorized preferences in a similar order of search results.

My Issue: 類型化しておいて. Should we translate this as "categorize" or "classify"?

classify/ typify

Although categorizing is rather similar to classifying, in this case I believe you should use classify. I have checked several dictionaries and done some research, I found that in programming the program can classify or typify the data before storing it (typification).
Typification is essentially "classifying in patterns" according to an online dictionary. The word is not yet common, so do not be alarmed if spell check will not accept it.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Marcel Gomez : I think it is not fair that you write two candidates in the same answer. You are leaving no other choice.

They are so close to being the exact same word that it would not make sense to only explain one or the other, as these words are used to define each other? How could I describe one without the other? Even if one is in title, the other has to be in comment
neutral Mariko Torigoe : I agree as classification, besides of the means to be used the result for searching engine.

Categorization

For this text "Full text: さらに検索エンジンの内部では、ユーザーがこれまでにサービスを利用した履歴を集めて興味の範囲が似ているユーザーを類型化しておいて、類型化された好みを検索結果の並べ方に反映します。"
It means for technology text and categorize the users have similar interests zone and then from the searched result interest group it by interests (classify should be used here). I means that there have no the right words for each one as category and classify as we know.
Looks at the link that I attached, it will give you a more understanding about what I am saying. Good luck.
Example sentence:

種類と区分と種別と分類の違いは何
