Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for selectively presenting search results responsive to search query suggestions. In one aspect includes receiving a partial search query including one or more characters; generating a first query suggestion based on the partial search query; determining whether the first query suggestion meets a filtering criterion, where the filtering criterion is a criterion specifying one or more filtering criterion topics against which the first query suggestion is evaluated independent of search results responsive to the first query suggestion; providing the first query suggestion; and in response to determining that the first query suggestion meets the filtering criterion, preventing a first set of one or more images responsive to the first query suggestion from being presented to a user.
