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.
