Abstract:
A user enters a query into an element of a user interface. Query suggestions that are based on the query are displayed around the query in the user interface. Each of the query suggestions is displayed in an element of the user interface that indicates a rank of the query suggestion to the user. When the user holds or hovers over a particular element of the user interface, a pop-up window is displayed with the search results that are responsive to the query or query suggestion that is associated with the element, allowing the user to compare the query and the query suggestions. In addition, the user may rotate the elements associated with the query suggestions displayed around the element associated with the query in the user interface to indicate that they would like to receive additional or different query suggestions.
