Abstract:
In an example embodiment, a hybrid call is introduced. Local data is used to immediately display some search results. The search for local data may be initiated at the same time as a search for non-local data (e.g., server data). A preset number of results from the local data may be displayed first, while remaining results from non-local data may be displayed when such results are returned over the network. By using local data to initially return search results, the time for the searcher to see results is reduced to virtually nothing. Additionally, the local results are typically more relevant to navigational searches than traditional type ahead results.
