Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for presenting autocomplete suggestions. A computing device can receive a query and autocomplete suggestions for the query. The autocomplete suggestions can be displayed in a plurality of separately selectable cells arranged in a column on a user interface. While a selected cell is displayed at a first location, input indicating that a user interacted with the selected cell can be received. In response to receiving the input, the computing device can display the selected cell at a second location that is different from the first location, include the autocomplete suggestion displayed in the selected cell in the query, and display autocomplete suggestions for the extended query in a plurality of separately selectable second cells.
