The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a computer-implemented method including receiving a partial query term from a user. The method further includes providing the partial query term to multiple data provider modules. Additionally, the method includes receiving a set of search suggestion items responsive to the partial query term and receiving information identifying a category for each search suggestion item. The method further includes rendering a representation of each search suggestion item, and receiving a user selection identifying one of the search suggestion items from the user interface. And, the method includes rendering a status bar indicating the user selection.

Interactive search querying

Aspects of the subject technology relate to exiting a full screen mode of a web browser. A system is configured to provide for display on a screen a web page in a full screen mode of a web browser. The system is further configured to detect a content-based event in the web browser and, in response to the detection, exit the full screen mode of the web browser.

Exit full screen mode of a web browser on content-based event

The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a computer-implemented method including receiving from a user a portion of a query. The method further includes providing the portion of the query to multiple data provider modules nearly simultaneously. The method further includes receiving, from ones of the data provider modules, a set of search suggestion items resulting from searching the data sources, each of the search suggestion items including a rank and a relevance value. The method further includes determining a score for each of the search suggestion items by combining the rank and the relevance value for each of the search suggestion items. The method further includes sorting the search suggestion items using the scores. The method further includes presenting the sorted search suggestion items to the user.
