  • Publication number: 20190179921
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed that generates a dictionary of terms comprising terms associated with games of a collaboration platform. The method further identifies search terms associated with previous search queries. The method compares the search terms with the terms of the dictionary to determine whether the search terms associated with the previous search queries are in the dictionary of terms. The method identifies a first set of the search terms that are candidates to receive search suggestions and a second set of the search terms that are to be the search suggestions based on the comparison. The method also generates a record that associates candidate search terms of the first set of the search terms with respective search suggestions of the second set of the search terms. The record is used to provide a search suggestion for a search term of a new search query.
