Disclosed are various embodiments for navigating a taxonomy using search queries. An unstructured search query is parsed in order to identify one or more categories of a taxonomy of a collection of items. Each one of the one or more categories is associated with a confidence score. When the confidence score meets a threshold, a pool of items is selected from a respective one of the one or more categories. When no confidence score meets the threshold, the pool of items is selected from the collection of items.

Navigating a taxonomy using search queries

Disclosed are various embodiments for pre-fetching resources referenced on pre-fetches portions of a network page predicted to be accessed so that the network page may be made visible to a user in immediate response to the user selecting the predicted page. A browser application executable on a client device may access a network page predicted to be accessed and identify resources having a prioritization of retrieval that causes the browser application retrieve the resources according to the prioritization of retrieval. Some resources may have a higher priority for retrieval than other resources.

Pre-fetching of network page content in a browser application

Disclosed are various embodiments for pre-fetching resources referenced on a network page using a browser application executable on a client device. A network page predicted to be accessed by a user of a browser application may be identified that references resources, such as image, video, text, and multimedia resources. A prioritization of retrieval may be determined for the resources according to retrieval criteria. The browser application may retrieve at least a portion of the resources according to the prioritization of retrieval and store the retrieved sources in memory, thereby causing the network page predicted to be accessed to render more quickly, when accessed.

Disclosed are various embodiments for predictive page loading. Text entered by a user into a search query form is captured. If an evaluation of the size of the captured text or identity of characters in the captured text in accordance with a confidence criteria indicates that the confidence criteria is met, a speculative search query is provided to a server. The speculative search query includes a selected suggested search term. A received plurality of speculative search results is rendered in a hidden portion of a browser window. In response to receiving a user instruction to execute a committed search query that includes the at least one selected suggested search term, at least a portion of the received plurality of speculative search results is rendered in a visible portion of the browser window.

Predictive page loading based on text entry and search term suggestions

Disclosed are various embodiments for predictive page loading. A number of speculative search queries are provided to a server. Each speculative search query includes one of a plurality of suggested keywords. The number of speculative search queries is based on the number of suggested keywords. Responses corresponding to the speculative search queries are obtained. Each response includes a corresponding plurality of speculative search results. A portion of speculative search results from more than one of the responses is rendered in a hidden portion of a browser window. The portion of the speculative search results is rendered in a visible portion of the browser window in response to receiving a user instruction to execute a committed search query that includes a suggested keyword in one of the speculative queries.

Predictive page loading based on suggestion data

Disclosed are various embodiments for predictive network page loading. Content corresponding to a network request is obtained. A next network page associated with the obtained page content is predicted. If the prediction is confident relative to a predetermined confidence threshold, then a first network page is generated. The first network page includes the page content corresponding to the network request and a portion of content for the predicted network page. The generated first network page is provided to a client. A request for another network page is received. If the another network page in the request corresponds to the predicted next network page, a second network page is generated. The second network page includes the remainder of the content for the predicted page content.

Predictive page loading based on navigation

Disclosed are various embodiments for pre-fetching of resources referenced on a network page. A predicted next network page is retrieved by a computer system. The predicted next network page references at least one resource. At least one attribute of the resource is evaluated according to at least one retrieval criteria. At least one resource is retrieved if the attribute meets the retrieval criteria.

Pre-fetching of network page content

Disclosed are various embodiments for progressively loading content that is asynchronously obtained from a server. A network page is obtained in a client from a server. Supplemental data is obtained in the client from the server in response to an element of the network page. The supplemental data, which is obtained asynchronously with respect to the network page, includes content and scripted callbacks. Each scripted callback is processed in the client, and in response, a respective portion of the content that has been obtained from the server is also processed in the client.

Progressively loading network content

Effective color-aware search of a collection of content associated with one or more images is enabled. Content and/or its associated images may be automatically associated with representative palette colors in a suite of color palettes. Color palettes may be of a variety of types and have a hierarchical structure in which lower levels enable increasingly subtle distinctions between shades of color. Color palette hierarchies may be effectively presented, and appropriate portions emphasized based on associated search result sets. Search result sets may be refined and/or reordered in accordance with color palette selections and/or representative confidences of color palette selections for items at least referenced therein.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to integrate multiple engineering design systems in a computer aided design (CAD) system. A design generator is displayed and used to create an engineering design that has different worksheets. Each worksheet represents a different aspect of the design, has local design objects that represent functional aspects of a component that are independent from the component's physical representation, and relation objects that models constraints for properties of the design objects. The objects are organized into a functional layout document (FLD) that is stored in a data center/database that is shared by the worksheets. The FLD is then used to design an engineering design/model.
