Abstract: A device implementing a system for providing query completion suggestions includes at least one processor configured to receive a partial query, and derive one or more query completion suggestions for the partial query from content items that are locally stored on the device, each respective query completion suggestion being associated with metadata extracted from one of the content items from which the respective query completion suggestion was derived. The at least one processor is further configured to rank the one or more query completion suggestions based at least in part on the metadata associated with each of the one or more query completion suggestions. The at least one processor is further configured to provide, for display, at least one of the one or more ranked query completion suggestions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that selects an application state for use in a multi-device search is described. In this embodiment, the device detects, on the device, that the application state has been selected as a query result for a device-level search on that device. The device further transmits the application state to a server, wherein the application state is to be indexed with other application states from other devices.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that re-rank a plurality of search results received from a search server on the device is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives, with a browser of the device, a search query from a user. The device further sends the search query to a search server. In addition, the device receives the plurality of search results from the search server, wherein the plurality of search results is ranked according to a first ranking. The device also retrieves browser history of the user, wherein the browser history is collected on the device without revealing the browser history to the search server. The device further re-ranks the plurality of search results according to a second ranking based on at least the browser history. In addition, the device presents the plurality of search results using the second ranking.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that generates a re-ranking model used to re-rank a plurality of search results on a client device is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a crowd-sourced intra-domain model from a server, where the intra-domain model is a search result re-ranking model generated based on at least device interactions of a plurality of users interacting with a plurality of other devices. The device further generates a re-ranking model from the crowd-sourced intra-domain model and a local model, where the local model includes private data representing a device user's interaction with that device and the re-ranking model is used to re-rank a plurality of search results.
