  • Publication number: 20150193447
    Abstract: Architecture that generates local intent suggestions as completion suggestions (auto-suggest solutions) for an incomplete (or partially-entered) search query. The local intent suggestions are “synthetic” in that these suggestions are derived based on the near or total absence of any prior query history. The local intent suggestions can be derived and presented without the typical web-based suggestions or with the web-based suggestions. The web-based suggestions are blended (e.g., placed above, under, or mixed in with) with the local intent suggestions and displayed to the user. Web interfaces include, but are not limited to a full page display interface (e.g., that includes a full page map, pin points with images, sub-intents, title and description), and/or a right pane (sub-pane) auto-suggest interface with mini-map pinpoints, sub-intents, and disambiguation tiles, for example.

  • Patent number: 7895598
    Abstract: An arrangement for generating page and/or device-optimized cascading style sheets (“CSS”) is disclosed in which CSS blocks are provided in a collection of one or more files. In an illustrative example, the collection of files is arranged as XML (extensible Markup Language) files. Each CSS block is marked with attributes that indicate to which modules used to compose a page it applies, and/or its applicability to a specific device. At page rendering time, the CSS for the page is dynamically generated by selecting CSS blocks from the files based on detected device capabilities and/or the modules on the page.
