The described embodiments relate to techniques for facilitating text inputs with long-tail keywords from a user in a social question and answer (Q&A) application. During operation, the system receives an input from the user. The system then applies a predictive model to determine a predicted business outcome for the received input from the user. Next, the system renders a user interface (UI) for subsequent user interaction with the social Q&A application, based on the predicted business outcome. Finally, the system displays the rendered UI to the user.
