Abstract:
Example embodiments provide a system and method for providing prediction-based instant search results. A system detects a current input entered in a search field of a user interface by a user. The system generates an auto-suggestion application program interface (API) request that includes the current input as a parameter, and transmits the auto-suggestion API request to an auto-suggestion server. In response, the system receives auto-suggestions from the auto-suggestion server. The system generates a search application program interface (API) request that includes the current input and at least some of the auto-suggestions as parameters, and transmits, the search API request to a search system. In response, the system receives results. The system then updates the user interface to display the results.
