Abstract
Search log data may specify map results that were provided to a user, and may further specify, for each map result, a geographic location to which the map result has been identified as relevant. For each geographic location, a number of the search results that have been identified as relevant to the geographic location may be determined, and a result suggest boost factor for the geographic location may be determined based on the number of search results that have been identified as relevant to the geographic location. A result suggest boost factor may be stored in an index, and is a value indicative of a likelihood that a query received from the user is requesting map results that are relevant to the geographic location.
