Semantic Auto-completion

NaverLab Semantic Movie Search provides the semantic auto-completion of the keyword typed in the search box. It works just like general keyword auto-completion but the auto-completed items in the semantic auto-completion are not simple texts but objects. The objects are one of People, Movie, School, Company, Award, or Country.

There are two different modes of the auto-completion: vertical mode and horizontal mode. They work similarly but the horizontal mode provides more suggested items. In the vertical mode, maximum three objects of Movies, People and Etc (School, Company, Award, Country) are displayed respectively. In total maximum 9 objects are allowed. In the horizontal mode, maximum three objects of People, Movie, Etc are visible respectively like in the vertical mode but more objects are available when scrolled down.

The below are the examples of the auto-completion in the vertical mode and the horizontal mode respectively when "gladiator" is typed in.
