Abstract: A route-biased search in a mobile navigation system locates points of interest (POI) on or convenient to a mobile user's current travel. The route-biased search operates in two modes, navigation and non-navigation. The navigation mode identifies the most convenient POIs that honor the mobile user's route to their destination. The non-navigation mode identifies the most convenient POIs that are located ahead of the user based on the user's inferred direction of travel. The route-biased search determines the best possible routes to the identified POIs taking into account the impact of the detour costs of traveling to the POI along with other ranking factors.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for refining search results presented in a graphical user interface of a search application operating at a user device. A scrollable category list is presented in the graphical user interface, where the scrollable category list includes a number of categories related to a search query provided by a user of the user device. Categories that are available within a geographic region associated with a location of the user device are included in the scrollable category list.
