摘要： Techniques are provided for automatically determining when to trigger instant search. In one technique, while a user is entering text to formulate a search query, and prior to receiving an indication that the user has completed formulation of the search query, a search assistant system determines the most popular queries that include the text the user has already entered. The search assistant system then determines whether to proactively provide, to the user, search results for the top-candidate of those completed queries. That determination may take into account factors such as whether the top-candidate qualifies as a dominant completed query, a richness metric determined for the search results for the particular completed query, and/or a satisfaction metric determined for the search results for the particular completed query. If the search assistant system determines to proactively provide search results for the particular completed query, the search results for the particular completed query are presented to the user prior to receiving any indication that the user has completed formulation of the search query.

摘要： A method implemented on a computing device having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for predicting a next word comprises generating a suggestion database including a plurality of suggestions; receiving an input from a user including a first word and at least one character of a second word; obtaining one or more indices associated with the at least one character from the suggestion database; retrieving one or more suggestions corresponding to the one or more indices from the suggestion database; and presenting the one or more suggestions to the user.

摘要： The present teaching relates to providing a query suggestion. In one example, a request is received for query suggestions with respect to a query prefix input by a user. Personal data of the user are obtained. One or more spelling correction candidates are generated based on the personal data and the query prefix. Each of the one or more spelling correction candidates represents a possible spelling correction of the query prefix that was likely input incorrectly in view of the personal data. One or more query suggestions are determined based on the one or more spelling correction candidates. The one or more query suggestions are provided as a response to the request.
