The search query is a received search query and includes at least one received search query term. Responsive to the current cursor position being one of a plurality of predefined cursor positions, one of a plurality of suggest algorithms corresponding to one of a plurality of predefined suggest actions associated with the current cursor position is executed to define a suggested search query.
