Implementations include actions of obtaining a set of entities based on one or more terms of a query, obtaining one or more entities associated with each live event of a plurality of live events, identifying a live event that is responsive to the query based on comparing at least one entity in the set of entities to one or more entities associated with each live event of a plurality of live events, determining that an event search result corresponding to the live event is to be displayed in search results, and in response: providing the event search result for display, the event search result including information associated with the live event, the information including an indicator of an occurrence of the live event.

Surfacing live events in search results

Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for incorporating application links into message exchange threads. One or more cues emanating from a message exchange thread involving two or more message exchange clients may be detected. The one or more cues may trigger incorporation, into the message exchange thread, of a selectable link to a distinct application. At least one candidate application that is installed on a given client computing device operated by a message exchange thread participant may be identified. The candidate application may be associated with content of the message exchange thread. A selectable link may be incorporated into a transcript of the message exchange thread displayed in a graphical user interface of a message exchange client operating on the given client computing device. The selectable link may be operable by the participant to expose to the participant an interface associated with a respective candidate application.

Incorporating selectable application links into message exchange threads

Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for: operating an instance of a personal assistant module to serve a user while the user operates the client computing device, wherein the instance of the personal assistant module has access to a persistent record of a message exchange thread between the user and instance(s) of the personal assistant module; detecting cue(s) emanating from the persistent message exchange thread; identifying candidate application(s) that are installed on a client computing device operated by the user, wherein the candidate application(s) are associated with content of the message exchange thread; and incorporating, into a transcript of the message exchange thread that is displayed in a graphical user interface rendered on the client computing device, selectable link (operable by the user to cause the client computing device to expose to the user an interface associated with a respective candidate application.

Incorporating selectable application links into conversations with personal assistant modules

Implementations of the present disclosure include actions of providing first text for display on a computing device of a user, the first text being provided from a first speech recognition engine based on first speech received from the computing device, and being displayed as a search query, receiving a speech correction indication from the computing device, the speech correction indication indicating a portion of the first text that is to be corrected, receiving second speech from the computing device, receiving second text from a second speech recognition engine based on the second speech, the second speech recognition engine being different from the first speech recognition engine, replacing the portion of the first text with the second text to provide a combined text, and providing the combined text for display on the computing device as a revised search query.

Correcting voice recognition using selective re-speak

Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for: operating an instance of a personal assistant module to serve a user while the user operates the client computing device, wherein the instance of the personal assistant module has access to a persistent record of a message exchange thread between the user and instance(s) of the personal assistant module; detecting cue(s) emanating from the persistent message exchange thread; identifying candidate application(s) that are installed on a client computing device operated by the user, wherein the candidate application(s) are associated with content of the message exchange thread; and incorporating, into a transcript of the message exchange thread that is displayed in a graphical user interface rendered on the client computing device, selectable link( operable by the user to cause the client computing device to expose to the user an interface associated with a respective candidate application.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, receiving a search query from a user; determining that a voting user interface (VUI) is to be provided based on the search query, the VUI enabling the user to submit one or more votes in a vote-based campaign; receiving search results that are responsive to the search query; and transmitting instructions to display the search results and the VUI.

Supporting voting-based campaigns in search

Display panel or portion thereof with animated computer icon

A method includes gathering a plurality of instances of online activity associated with a user, analyzing the plurality of instances of online activity to determine a characteristic that is likely to correspond to a profile attribute of the user and generating a profile enrichment suggestion for the user based on the determined characteristic.

Identity crowd-sourced curation

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, determining that a voting user interface (VUI) is to be provided with search results, the VUI enabling a user to submit one or more votes in a voting-based campaign; receiving social content, the social content having been distributed using one or more social networking services; receiving search results that are responsive to a search query; and transmitting instructions to display the search results and the VUI, the VUI comprising the social content.
