Embodiments describe systems and methods for identifying temporal demand for queries and using metadata to modify autocomplete results. In one embodiment, a record of historical queries is stored by a system and analyzed to identify periodic or repeated events where demand for autocomplete results associated with one or more categories deviates from normal demand. A temporal model based on this record is used to adjust autocomplete search results during subsequent time periods associated with the repeated events.
In various example embodiments, a system and method for enhancing autocomplete search suggestions are presented. The system receives a query portion with a token portion from a client device and generates a first search query suggestion set having a first order based on the token portion. The system accesses a token pool associated with the client device and generates a second search query suggestion set having a second order based on the token portion and the token pool. The system selects a first subset of search query suggestions and a second subset of search query suggestions. The system merges the first subset of search query suggestions and the second subset of search query suggestions into a third search query suggestion set, organizes the third search query suggestion set into a third order distinct from the first and second orders, and causes presentation of the third search query suggestion set.
