SURFACING AUTOMATICALLY-SUGGESTED SEARCH QUERY RESULTS IN SEPARATE BROWSER TABS FOR IMPROVED MULTI-INTENT SEARCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18655192 titled 'SURFACING AUTOMATICALLY-SUGGESTED SEARCH QUERY RESULTS IN SEPARATE BROWSER TABS FOR IMPROVED MULTI-INTENT SEARCHING
The abstract describes a method for multi-intent searching using a web browser and a search engine UI. Users can enter keystrokes into the search box, which then generates suggested search queries in an autocomplete menu. By selecting a suggested search query, a second browser tab is opened with search results for that query, while maintaining the autocomplete menu in the first tab.
- Surfacing a search engine UI in a web browser with a search box for entering search queries.
- Generating suggested search queries in an autocomplete menu based on entered keystrokes.
- Opening a second browser tab with search results for selected suggested search queries.
- Maintaining the autocomplete menu in the first browser tab for easy access to related search queries.
- Enhancing user experience by providing quick access to relevant search results.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied to improve the efficiency of online search processes, enhance user experience on search engines, and streamline information retrieval for users.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in search engine technology, user interface design, and user experience research to enhance the effectiveness of multi-intent searching methods.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for multi-intent searching includes surfacing, via a web browser provided through a network, a search engine UI in a first browser tab, where the search engine UI includes a search box for specifying a search query. The method includes, responsive to user input, entering keystrokes into the search box, surfacing an autocomplete menu adjacent to the search box, and populating the autocomplete menu with suggested search queries related to the entered keystrokes. The method also includes surfacing a pop-out icon corresponding to each suggested search query within the autocomplete menu and, responsive to additional user input including a selection of the pop-out icon corresponding to one of the suggested search queries, launching a second browser tab including search results for the suggested search query, where the autocomplete menu with the suggested search queries is maintained within the first browser tab after the launching of the second browser tab.
