Abstract: A method of processing a search query, the method comprising receiving a search query; determining whether the search query is stored in an offline query index by comparing the search query against one or more offline search queries stored therein; responsive to determining that the search query matches a given offline search query, determining an offline SERP template pointer associated with the given offline search query; determining, based on the offline SERP template pointer, an associated offline SERP template stored within an offline SERP template index; retrieving a list of one or more ordered element pointers comprising the associated offline SERP template; retrieving, for each one or more ordered element pointers comprising the list, a respective SERP element, from the at least one SERP elements index; generating an offline SERP by compiling the retrieved SERP elements; and displaying the offline SERP on the electronic device.

Abstract: A method and system for generating a list of search query suggestions is provided. At least a portion of a search query is received from a user, and a ranked plurality of search query suggestions for the portion of the search query is generated. It is determined, based at least in part on an association parameter, whether each search query suggestion is associated with a particular search source, the association parameter defining the degree of relevancy of each suggestion to each respective search source. A suggestion group is created for each respective associated search source. The suggestion group presents the subset of search query suggestions associated with the respective search source. Finally, the list of search query suggestions is generated, each respective subset being grouped together in each respective suggestion group, and each suggestion group being displayed separately.
