1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a first search query from a user;
obtaining a plurality of first search results in response to the first search query from an index server;
determining whether the plurality of first search results are a substantially exhausted list of results for the first search query; and
caching the plurality of first search results in a cache storage if the plurality of first search results are the substantially exhausted list of results for the first search query.

Abstract
Techniques for providing low latency incremental search results are disclosed herein. According to one embodiment, a method for incremental search includes receiving a first search query from a user, obtaining a plurality of first search results in response to the first search query from an index server, determining whether the plurality of first search results are a substantially exhausted list of results for the first search query, and caching the plurality of first search results in a cache storage if the plurality of first search results are the substantially exhausted list of results for the first search query.

11. A method for incremental search comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of initial keystrokes from a user device; obtaining, from an index server, a plurality of first search results based on a first search query including the initial keystrokes; caching the plurality of first search results in a cache storage; receiving one or more additional keystrokes from the user device; generating one or more second search results by searching the first search results in the cache storage based on a second search query including the initial keystrokes and additional keystrokes; and transmitting the second search results to the user device in real time. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer server for incremental search comprising:
-
a networking component configured for receiving a plurality of initial keystrokes and later one or more additional keystrokes from a user device; the networking component being further configured for obtaining from an index server a plurality of first search results based on a first search query including the initial keystrokes; a cache storage configured for caching the plurality of first search results; a processor; and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the computer server to perform a process including; generating one or more second search results by searching the first search results in the cache storage based on a second search query including the initial keystrokes and additional keystrokes; wherein the networking component is further configured for transmitting the second search results to the user device in real time. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
