Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for mobile search substring query entry completion, wherein complete search terms are presented to a user in response to a search query that is not a fully formed query.

Claims

1. A method of mobile search substring query entry completion comprising:

receiving a search query from a mobile communication facility;

determining that such search query is not a fully formed query;

generating a list of search query suggestions that relate to the substring query;

ordering the list based on at least one factor; and

presenting the search query suggestions to the mobile communication facility for selection by the user.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile communication facility is a phone.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the search query is associated with a query entry field.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the query entry field is a name field.

12. The method of claim 6, wherein the query entry field is a numeric field.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the search query derives from a browser based (WAP) interaction.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the search query derives from a client application based interaction.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the client application based interaction is a BREW application.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein client application based interaction is a Java application.

20. The method of claim 1, wherein ordering is based at least in part on search query popularity.

21. The method of claim 1, wherein the ordering is based at least in part on information relating to the mobile communication facility.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a user characteristic.

24. The method of claim 1, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a user history.

25. The method of claim 1, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a user transaction.

26. The method of claim 1, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a geographic location.

27. The method of claim 1, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a user device.

28. The method of claim 1, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a time.

29. The method of claim 1, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is a mobile communication facility characteristic.

31. The method of claim 1, wherein the information relating to a mobile communication facility is provided by a wireless operator.
