The plurality of names is automatically populated, at a time when the user is still entering characters in the prompt field, as a function of one or more character strings in the prompt field. A computer comprising a memory storing instructions for receiving a vertical search query, communicating the query to a remote computer, and receiving a plurality of names from the remote computer. Each name represents a vertical collection having relevance to the vertical search query. The plurality of names is displayed at a time when the user is still entering additional characters into the vertical search query.
