Abstract:
Systems, software, and computer-implemented methods can be used to present search results and search refinement suggestions identified in response to a search query using a search refinement wheel. In response to receiving a search query, a set of suggested query refinements are obtained. A spoke graph structure processable to present a visual representation of the search query and at least a portion of the set of the at least one search query refinements is generated, where the search query is represented by a first node in the visual representation and each of the portion of the set of the search query refinements is represented by an individual spoke in the visual representation that can be activated to generate a corresponding new search query. The generated graph can be provided in response to the search query, e.g., to a client device from which the search query is received.
