Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, in which an input method editor receives composition inputs in an input method editor environment, the composition inputs based on user inputs. Candidate selections are identified in the input method editor environment based on the composition inputs. Each candidate selection comprises one or more ideograms. The input method editor environment receives a search command based on a user input, and selects one of the candidate selections in response to the search command. The selected candidate selection and the search command are provided to a search engine interface external to the input method editor environment.

Input method editor integration

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that automatically classifies documents (such as web pages) based on user inputs. During operation, the system obtains a 'classified' set of documents which are classified as relating to a specific topic. The system also obtains queries related to the specific topic. These queries produce 'query results' which enable the user to access documents related to the query. The queries also include &#x201c;click information&#x201d; which specifies how one or more users have accessed the query results. The system uses this click information to identify documents in the classified set of documents which are not related to the specific topic or are off-topic. If such documents are identified, the system shifts the identified documents so that they are regarded as off-topic and/or spam, and removes the identified documents from the classified set of documents.
