Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a client system of a user, an indication of the user accessing a query field at the client device of the user, generating a plurality of structured queries that each comprise references to one or more objects associated with the online social network, calculating a score for each structured query based on one or more user-engagement factors, and sending, to the client system responsive to the indication of the user accessing the query field, one or more suggested structured queries for display to the user, each suggested structured query having a score greater than a threshold score.
