Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for reranking query completions based on activity session data. One of the methods includes receiving a query prefix from a user. Query completions are obtained for the query prefix. One or more likely queries that are likely to co-occur with a reference query in user activity sessions are obtained. If one of the likely queries matches one of the query completions, a modified ranking of the query completions is determined, including boosting a ranking of matching query completions. The modified ranking of the query completions is provided in response to receiving the query prefix.
