  • Patent number: 11762863
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods relating to hierarchical contextual search suggestions. In an example, search suggestions may be provided to a user searching for content of a content management platform. In some examples, the content management platform may manage hierarchical content, such that search suggestions provided to the user for a search query may be associated with content at a level of the hierarchical content accessed by the user. If there is not a sufficient number of search suggestions to provide to the user at the current level of the hierarchy, additional and/or alternative search suggestions may be generated for the user based on content from a different level of the hierarchy. As a result, the user may continue to receive relevant search suggestions, while reducing the amount of computing overhead and analysis used to generate such search suggestions.
