Publication number: 20230394072Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing search query suggestions. In one aspect, a search service provides query suggestions responsive to a query suggestion request from a client device, and determines if a prediction criterion is met. The prediction criterion is independent of a user selection of a query suggestion provided in response to one or more query suggestion requests. In response to determining that the prediction criterion is met, the search system provides search results to the client device. The search results are responsive to one of the query suggestions provided in response to the query suggestion request or one or more previous query suggestion requests.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Othar Hansson, David Black, Jon M. Wiley, Manas Tungare, Ziga Mahkovec, Benjamin J. McMahan, Benedict A. Gomes, Jonathan J. Effrat, Johanna R. Wright, Marcin K. Wichary

Patent number: 9031970Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining query completions. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a query input in a search engine query input field in a user interface. The method also includes submitting the query input as a first query stem to an autocompletion module. The method also includes receiving a first response from the autocompletion module, the first response providing no first query autocompletions. The method also includes submitting a second query stem to the autocompletion module, the second query stem being the first query stem with a first prefix removed. The method also includes receiving a second response from the autocompletion module including one or more second autocompletions satisfying a second quality test. The method also includes providing second autocompletions for presentation on the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2011Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Abhinandan S. Das, Bartlomiej Niechwiej, Jonathan J. Effrat, Marcin K. Wichary

Patent number: 8977644Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing alternative search results for a query. In one aspect, a method includes transmitting a set of one or more search results for a query to a client device for presentation to a user, where each search result refers to a respective resource, receiving from the client device an alternative search result submitted by the user for the query, associating the alternative search result with the query, and storing in a repository the query and the alternative search result, where the alternative search result is transmitted with the set of one or more search results for a new search of the query.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2014Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Douglas J. Ricket, Evan H. Parker, Marcin K. Wichary, Kenson W. Yee

Patent number: 8700653Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing search query suggestions. In one aspect, interface instructions on a client device cause the client device to generate a search interface that includes a query input field and provide query characters input in the query input field to a search service as a first query suggestion request. The client device receives, in response the query suggestion request, first query suggestions and renders the first query suggestions according to and order. In response to the client device receiving first search results responsive to one of the first query suggestions and being received independent of user selection of a first query suggestion and independent of sending a completed query to the search service, the client device generates an indication in the interface that indicates the first query suggestion for which the search results are responsive.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Othar Hansson, David Black, Jon M.
