Abstract
Method and system to generate multiple entity aware typeahead suggestions is provided. The system is configured to use multiple Finite State Transducers (FSTs) to examine an input string submitted by a user via a search box, and to generate one or more typeahead suggestions based on the results of the examination. Different FSTs are constructed with respect to strings identified as associated with different entity types. At least one of the typeahead suggestions includes a portion associated with one entity type and a portion associated with a different entity type.
