An enterprise search paradigm based on extended query auto-completion
David Hawking, Kathy M. Griffiths · 2013
Enterprise query auto-completion (QAC) can allow website or intranet visitors to satisfy a need more efficiently than traditional searching and browsing. The limited scope of an enterprise makes it possible to satisfy a high proportion of information needs through completion. Further, the availability of structured sources of completions such as product catalogues compensates for sparsity of log data. Extended forms (X-QAC) can give access to information that is inaccessible via a conventional crawled index.
