Autocompletion lets users type a query correctly and efficiently. Due to its remarkable performance, it has been adopted in many applications. For example, search engines like Google can give related keyword suggestions and can show top-ranked search options as a user is typing a query. Other applications include command shells, desktop search, software development environments (IDE), and mobile applications. However, autocompletion is limited by typing errors, especially for mobile devices where typing accurately is mundane. Developing a location-aware and error-tolerant query autocompletion would greatly improve performance. My research aims to build a compact index (trie) as a solution to overcome query runtime limitations.
