In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a first user, a text query comprising a character string of n characters, generating a plurality of suggested queries based on the text query, where each suggested query comprises the character string of the text query and one or more query tokens, and where at least one of the query tokens of each suggested query partially matches the character string of the text query, and sending, to the client system responsive to receiving the nth character of the text query, instructions for displaying one or more suggested queries to the first user, where at least one of the suggested queries is displayed with a preview of one or more search results matching the suggested query.
