Assisted Querying using Instant-Response Interfaces

Summary: Schema-free, real-time query construction via a single input box with instant guidance as users type. Novel approaches tackle schema/data complexity, result-size estimation, and query validity; demonstrated on an enterprise personnel search and a biological database.
