Processing part of a user input to produce an early response

A system comprising:

• a processing device;
• and
• a storage device storing instructions, that when executed by the processing device, cause operations to be performed, the operations comprising:
• receiving a partial user input that is a first portion of a search query;
• detecting a first triggering condition that is associated with the partial user input;
• in response to detecting the first triggering condition, causing the partial user input to be processed;
• receiving a response to the partial user input, wherein the response is a candidate response for the search query;
• receiving a remainder of user input to produce a final user input, wherein the remainder of the user input is a second portion of the search query and the final user input is a combination of the partial user input and the remainder of the user input;
• detecting a second triggering condition that is associated with the remainder of the user input;
• and
• in response to detecting the second triggering condition and based on a determination that the partial user input matches or is similar to the final user input, providing the response to the partial user input for presentation.

A device comprising:

• a processor;
• memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations comprising:
• receiving a partial user input that is a first portion of a search query, the partial user input indicating at least one topic of interest;
• detecting a first triggering condition for the partial user input;
• in response to detecting the triggering condition, receiving a first response to the partial user input, wherein the first response is a search result for the search query, the search result being associated with the topic of interest;
• receiving a remainder of user input to produce a final user input, wherein the remainder of the user input is a second portion of the statement or the question and the final user input is a combination of the partial user input and the remainder of the user input;
• detecting a second triggering condition that is associated with the remainder of the user input;
• and
• when a determination is made that the partial user input matches or is similar to the final user input, providing the first response for presentation.
