Abstract
Embodiments for generating search shortcuts and inline auto-complete entries are described herein. An embodiment includes, detecting text input in a browser, determining if the text input corresponds to an identifier from where a search was initiated and presenting one or more identifiers and an option to search content based on the determining step. Another method embodiment includes, determining if a user attempted to navigate to an identifier or if the user provided a search query, presenting one or more search results based on the search query, providing a HTTP request concurrently with the presenting step to retrieve content associated with the identifier, and presenting a user interaction area to determine if the user intended to navigate to the identifier.
