20120047134 | PREDICTIVE QUERY COMPLETION AND PREDICTIVE SEARCH RESULTS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing search query suggestions. In one aspect, interface instructions on a client device cause the client device to generate a search interface that includes a query input field and provide query characters input in the query input field to a search service as a first query suggestion request. The client device receives, in response the query suggestion request, first query suggestions and renders the first query suggestions according to and order. In response to the client device receiving first search results responsive to one of the first query suggestions and being received independent of user selection of a first query suggestion and independent of sending a completed query to the search service, the client device generates an indication in the interface that indicates the first query suggestion for which the search results are responsive. | 02-23-2012 |
20120047135 | Predictive Query Completion And Predictive Search Results - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing search query suggestions. In one aspect, a search service provides query suggestions responsive to a query suggestion request from a client device, and determines if a prediction criterion is met. The prediction criterion is independent of a user selection of a query suggestion provided in response to one or more query suggestion requests. In response to determining that the prediction criterion is met, the search system provides search results to the client device. The search results are responsive to one of the query suggestions provided in response to the query suggestion request or one or more previous query suggestion requests. | 02-23-2012 |
20130060560 | SERVER-BASED SPELL CHECKING - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for server-based spell check. One aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods performed by a server. The methods include the actions of receiving a request to spell check text; dividing the text into multiple segments, each segment including no more than a predetermined number of terms; providing each segment to a spell checker programmed to spell check an input including no more than the predetermined number of terms; receiving, from the spell checker, one or more spelling correction suggestions, each spelling correction suggestion corresponding to a term in a segment, the term being designated as misspelled by the spell checker; and assembling the received one or more spelling correction suggestions into a response to the request to spell check the text. | 03-07-2013 |
20130061139 | SERVER-BASED SPELL CHECKING ON A USER DEVICE - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for server-based spell check. One aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods performed by a user device. The methods include the actions of receiving user input text; identifying a candidate term for spelling correction from the received text, the candidate term including a term designated as a misspelled term by a local spell checker, the local spell checker executing on the user device; sending the candidate term to a remote spell checker, the remote spell checker executing on a server that is connected to the user device through a communications network; receiving, from the remote spell checker, a spelling correction suggestion for the candidate term; and providing the spelling correction suggestion for display on the user device. | 03-07-2013 |
20130191360 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING ACCESS TO SEARCH RESULTS - Aspects of the disclosure provide a system and method for prerendering of search result pages. A search engine may process search queries received from a client. The search engine may determine one or more search results in response to the search query. One or more of the search results may be associated with prerender instructions, such that when the search results are received by the client, the client prerenders the search results associated with the prerender instructions. Prerender instructions may be associated with the search results in various manners, including ranking the search results based on relevance, or ranking the search results based on the likelihood of selection. Metrics and analytical data may be collected from the client to improve the search result prerendering process. | 07-25-2013 |
20140181135 | PREDICTIVE QUERY COMPLETION AND PREDICTIVE SEARCH RESULTS - Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing search query suggestions. In one aspect, a search service provides query suggestions responsive to a query suggestion request from a client device, and determines if a prediction criterion is met. The prediction criterion is independent of a user selection of a query suggestion provided in response to one or more query suggestion requests. In response to determining that the prediction criterion is met, the search system provides search results to the client device. The search results are responsive to one of the query suggestions provided in response to the query suggestion request or one or more previous query suggestion requests. | 06-26-2014 |
20140214856 | PROVIDING A CONTENT PREVIEW - A content preview of a content item stored in an online storage system can be viewed on a client device without the content item itself being downloaded to the client device and without the use of software associated with the content item being installed on the client device. Furthermore, data storage and processing requirements can be minimized by creating and storing only one content preview for each unique content item. The content item can be identified by using the content item as a hash key in a hashing algorithm. The resulting unique identifier can be used to search a preview index that lists all created content previews and their location. A content preview is only created if one does not exist. The unique identifier can be used to locate the content preview and return it in response to a preview request by a client device. | 07-31-2014 |
20140289360 | LOCAL SERVER FOR SYNCED ONLINE CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A client device can implement a client-side application for a server-side online content management system. The client-side application can communicate with the server-side online content management system to sync data stored locally on the client-side with data stored on the server-side. A local web server can be implemented on the client device to work in conjunction with the client-side application, such that the local web server can access the data stored locally. The client device can run a web browser that communicates with the local web server. A user of the client device can use the web browser to connect to the local web server to access the synced data stored locally on the client-side. Advantages of accessing the data stored locally using the web browser via the local web server include performance improvements, offline access to the data, and use of native client applications to interact with the data. | 09-25-2014 |
