Abstract: Techniques are described herein for assisting a user of a portable computing device with a touch screen display in formulating a search engine search query. The techniques may assist the user in a more efficient funnel querying approach when compared to conventional funnel querying approaches. In particular, with the techniques, the user can add one or more additional keywords to an initial search query without having to enter the individual letters of the additional keywords. As a result, the techniques enable the user to find relevant search results with less tedium and frustration compared to conventional funnel querying approaches, thereby increasing user satisfaction with the search engine.
