Abstract
Systems and methods for providing search suggestions are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes: at an electronic device having one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors: displaying a search field; detecting a predefined user activity relating to the search field over a first predefined period of time; and in response to the detection: displaying one of: (i) a suggested search feature demonstrating syntax of a system-supported user query, or (ii) a suggested search term related to a user's recent viewing activity. In other implementations, the method includes: displaying a search field; detecting user inactivity with respect to the search field over a first predefined period of time; and in response to the detection: displaying, in the search field, a search suggestion demonstrating syntax of a system-supported user query.
