Abstract
Systems and methods are provided herein for accentuating candidate characters of strings relating to promotional content. To this end, a media guidance application may receive user input of a character through a user interface. The media guidance application may identify a plurality of strings that the character could be used to achieve, compare each string of the plurality of strings to entries of a promotional database, and identify, based on the comparing, a string that is designated as a promotional string. The media guidance application may then determine a next character of the promotional string, and may accentuate a portion of the user interface that corresponds to the next character.
