Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving a query provided from a user device, and determining that the query implicitly references some entity, and in response: obtaining an approximate location and an approximate orientation of the user device, obtaining a set of entities including one or more entities, each entity in the set of entities being at least partially within a range that is based on the approximate location and that includes an extended portion based on the approximate orientation, selecting an entity from the set of entities, and providing a revised query based on the query and the entity, the revised query explicitly referencing the entity.
