Personalized user experience and search-based recommendations

摘要

A method and system for providing a personalized user interface and personalized search suggestions when using an application is disclosed. The method includes receiving a request for providing a personalized user interface such as a personalized menu for an application and examining a history of the user's usage of the application, a history of other user's usage of the application, and/or the content of the current document in the application, before identifying one or more suggested options offered by the application based on one or more of these factors. A list may then be generated and provided for being displayed as part of the personalized user interface. Upon receiving an indication of a user's intent to perform a search within the application, the user's usage history, usage history of users with similar activities, and/or content of the current document may be examined to provide the user with a list of search suggestions.
