Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing search query suggestions. In one aspect, interface instructions on a client device cause the client device to generate a search interface that includes a query input field and provide query characters input in the query input field to a search service as a first query suggestion request. The client device receives, in response the query suggestion request, first query suggestions and renders the first query suggestions according to and order. In response to the client device receiving first search results responsive to one of the first query suggestions and being received independent of user selection of a first query suggestion and independent of sending a completed query to the search service, the client device generates an indication in the interface that indicates the first query suggestion for which the search results are responsive.
