Abstract
The present invention relates to the identification of alternative suggestions which potentially improve on a given query suggestion, without being perceived by a user as being offensively different from the user's query. The alternative suggestions may for example be different query formulations that relate to the same topic as that of the given query suggestion. The technology disclosed uses similarity screening of the given query suggestion against unique queries which do not include the given query suggestion as a prefix, in conjunction with query utility scores representing prior user response to the unique queries.
