Abstract: A method of generating search query suggestions for a search query received in a search application. The method is executable by a processor communicatively coupled to the search application. The method includes receiving a search query and an indication of a current cursor position with respect thereto. The search query is a received search query and includes at least one received search query term. Responsive to the current cursor position being one of a plurality of predefined cursor positions, one of a plurality of suggest algorithms corresponding to one of a plurality of predefined suggest actions associated with the current cursor position is executed to define a suggested search query. Each one of the plurality of predefined cursor positions has associated therewith at least one of the plurality of predefined suggest actions. Each one of the plurality of predefined suggest actions corresponds to one of the plurality of suggest algorithms.

Abstract: There is discloses a method for generating a search query suggestion. The method comprises: receiving a first user input in a query field, the first user input including at least a portion of the search query; in response to receiving the first user input, displaying a suggestion area associated with the first user input, the suggestion area comprising at least one suggestion element to form the search query; in response to receiving a second user input associated with the suggestion area, causing a visual change to the suggestion area, the visual change including moving the suggestion area associated with the first user input relative to the query field, the moving causing alignment, in a sequential order, of: a given one of the at least one suggestion element after another one of the at least one suggestion element, with the first user input.
