Enhanced auto-suggestion functionality

A system for providing enhanced search capabilities, comprising:

• a processing system having a processor;
• and
• a computer memory including instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the system to carry out operations comprising:
• receiving a search query through a first user interface that includes an input field;
• determining, using a query classification model, that the search query is classified as an exploratory query that is associated with performing a broader search exploring a topic;
• based on the search query being classified as an exploratory query:
• identifying the topic based on the search query using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model;
• generating an associated search query for the topic based on providing the search query and the topic to the generative AI model;
• generating a set of related headings relating to the topic based on providing the search query and the topic to the generative AI model;
• generating a related associated search query for each related heading in the set of related headings based on providing the search query and the set of related headings to the generative AI model;
• grouping each related associated search query with a corresponding related heading;
• providing, in a second user interface that includes a heading element for the search query and related heading elements for the set of related headings;
• based on the heading element being selected, displaying the input field populated with the associated search query for the topic;
• and
• providing each related heading in the set of related headings with a corresponding related associated search query, wherein the second user interface displays the heading element and each related heading element as selectable elements, and wherein each corresponding related associated search query is hidden from display in the second user interface until a related heading element is selected within the second user interface to reveal the related associated search query corresponding to the selected related headings element;
• and
• in response to detecting selection of the related heading element, updating the second user interface to display, within the input field, the related associated search query corresponding to the selected related headings element, and hide the associated search query for the topic that was displayed in the input field when the heading element was selected.

A method of receiving enhanced search options, comprising:

• receiving, at a first user interface that includes an input field, a search query relating to a topic;
• determining, using a query classification model, that the search query is classified as an exploratory query that is associated with performing a broader search exploring a topic;
• and
• based on the search query being classified as an exploratory query:
• determining the topic for the search query using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model;
• generating an associated search query for the topic based on providing the search query and the topic to the generative AI model;
• providing the search query and the topic to the generative AI model to generate a set of related headings for the topic;
• determining a related associated search query for each related heading in the set of related headings;
• generating a second user interface that includes a heading element for the search query and related heading elements for the set of related headings, wherein each of the set of related headings includes a corresponding related associated search query;
• based on the heading element being selected, displaying the input field populated with the associated search query for the topic, wherein only one header element is selected at a time to display a single set of corresponding associated queries;
• and
• presenting, in response detecting a selection of a related header element within the second user interface, the selected related headings element corresponding to a related header and the related associated search query corresponding to the related header within the input field, wherein, when the related header element is selected, the associated search query for the topic within the input field is hidden.
