Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a query input from a client system comprising one or more n-grams, sending instructions for presenting one or more suggested modifications for the query input, each suggested modification comprising references to one or more objects associated with the online social network, receiving an indication of a selection of one of the suggested modifications, parsing the query input and the selected suggested modification using a context-free grammar model to generate an executable query command, and sending instructions to the client system for presenting one or more search results corresponding to the query command.
