1. A method comprising, by a computing device:
- receiving an indication of a first location of a mobile-client system of a first user associated with an online social network, the online social network storing a social graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes;
determining an intent of the first user based at least on the first location;
generating one or more suggested queries based on the intent of the first user, wherein each suggested query is a structured query comprising references to one or more nodes and one or more edges of the social graph;
transmitting, responsive to receiving the indication of the first location, a notification to the mobile-client system of the first user, wherein the notification comprises one or more of the suggested queries, each suggested query being selectable by the first user to retrieve one or more search results corresponding to the suggested query, the one or more search results corresponding to one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes, respectively;
receiving an indication the first user has selected one of the suggested queries; and
transmitting, responsive to receiving the indication of the selection, a plurality of search results to the mobile-client system of the first user corresponding to the selected suggested query, the one or more search results corresponding to one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes, respectively, each node being connected to one of the nodes referenced in the selected suggested query by one of the edges referenced in the selected suggested query.
