  • Patent number: 9589071
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for presenting search query suggestions. In an aspect, query triggers in a resource are identified at a client device. For each query trigger identified in the resource, a rank score for the query trigger based on query trigger attributes is calculated at the client device. The query triggers are ranked at the client device based on the rank scores. Search query suggestions are generated at the client device from the query triggers identified in the resource. The search query suggestions include terms of the query triggers, expansion terms of the query triggers, and search query suggestions generated from templates applied to the terms of the query triggers and expansion terms of the query triggers. The search query suggestions are presented at the client device according to the rank of the corresponding query triggers.

  • Patent number: 8898296
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating query recommendations. One method provides selecting one or more nodes of an object model that models a resource as a hierarchy of nodes, and determining that the selected nodes exhibit one or more predefined traits that are characteristic of boilerplate content, wherein boilerplate content comprises content that is repeated in multiple resources of a particular web site or content which is not relevant to the main content of a resource. A score associated with the selected nodes is adjusted responsive to determining that the selected nodes exhibit the predefined traits, and information is provided to a query recommendation engine, the information including textual content associated with the selected nodes, and the information identifying the adjusted score associated with the selected nodes.
