Abstract
A method for multi-intent searching includes surfacing, via a web browser provided through a network, a search engine UI in a first browser tab, where the search engine UI includes a search box for specifying a search query. The method includes, responsive to user input, entering keystrokes into the search box, surfacing an autocomplete menu adjacent to the search box, and populating the autocomplete menu with suggested search queries related to the entered keystrokes. The method also includes surfacing a pop-out icon corresponding to each suggested search query within the autocomplete menu and, responsive to additional user input including a selection of the pop-out icon corresponding to one of the suggested search queries, launching a second browser tab including search results for the suggested search query, where the autocomplete menu with the suggested search queries is maintained within the first browser tab after the launching of the second browser tab.
