Instant search results

Abstract

Implementations of the disclosed technologies pre-fetch search results. Implementations receive first input from a search session of a user device, where the first input includes at least a portion of a search term but does not initiate a search. Implementations determine context data associated with the first input, determine that a combination of the first input and the context data satisfies a pre-fetch threshold, determine intent data based on at least a portion of the context data, generate a search query based on the first input and the intent data, and pre-fetch a first subset of search results based on the search query. In response to a second input received subsequent to the first input, where the second input contains an initiate search signal, implementations initiate rendering of the pre-fetched first subset of search results in the search session at the user device.
