Systems and methods for providing auto-completion options to input characters are presented. In response to receiving input characters, a plurality of items of content (that are non-textual items of content) of a corpus of content are identified. These items of content are clustered into n clusters of content according to similarities among the items of content. From the items of content of each cluster, a descriptive title is determined for the cluster. This descriptive title is an auto-completion option for the cluster. The descriptive titles/auto-completion options are provided in response to receiving the input characters.
