Query suggestions based on entity collections of one or more past queries
Topics: Entity based search, Nitin Gupta, Search Intent, Search Query Processing, Semantic Search
This Google patent describes methods and systems for providing intelligent query suggestions to users based on their past search queries. The technology analyzes the relationships between current and past queries using “entity collections” (categories or groupings of related concepts) to determine which suggestions would be most relevant. When a user types a new query, the system considers their previous searches and suggests related queries that share similar entity collections, making the suggestions more contextually relevant to the user’s apparent interests.
