Abstract

Methods and apparatus for determining navigational search results based on one or more signals are presented. A partial search query of a user may be received. A superset of candidate navigational search results may be determined based on the partial query. A subset of navigational search results may be selected from the superset based at least in part on one or more signals. The subset of navigational search results may then be provided for presentation to the user independently from presentation to the user of other search results that are responsive to the partial query.
