Abstract
User locality information can be used to improve various aspects of search results pages. Queries can be suggested based on the user location while excluding common query suggestions that involve an unrelated geographic entity. Deeplinks can also be modified to include location based suggestions. Additionally, results for specialized searches such as travel searches can be improved by employing user locality information.
