  • Patent number: 10949468
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for dynamically generating indicators of entity locations on an electronic map corresponding, for example, to a suggested search request. In one aspect, a method includes providing an electronic map of a geographic area for display on a user interface, receiving a character string entered into the user interface, the character string representing a partial search query, determining a suggested search request based on the character string, and identifying an entity responsive to the suggested search request and a geographic location for the identified entity. An indicator identifying the geographic location of the entity is provided for display on the electronic map.

  • Patent number: 10031890
    Abstract: A method truncates text entered via a text box user interface element. The method includes displaying a user interface on a display device of a client computing device, where the user interface includes first and second text entry fields within a collapsible text entry box. The method further includes receiving a first stream of characters into the first text entry field, initially displaying all characters of the first stream as the first text entry field receives the first stream, truncating the displayed characters of the first stream, resolving the truncated displayed characters of the first stream to a first object displayed within the collapsible text entry box, receiving a second stream of characters into the second text entry field, and further truncating the displayed characters of the first stream while receiving the second stream of characters into the second text entry field.
