Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium for detecting change in rate of input reception. In one aspect, a series of keystrokes input by a user is received. A baseline time interval is determined for the user. A time interval between receiving a particular keystroke and receiving a preceding keystroke is determined. It is determined that the time interval exceeds the baseline time interval by a predetermined amount. Then, characters that correspond to one or more of the keystrokes, are transmitted to a search engine.
