Paper Abstract:	Most current search homepages, like http://bing and http://google, are all text based. There is a text box for user to enter a search query string. In addition, it contains some menus and sub-menus on the interface, and they take time to find. Moreover, it is not the best fit on a mobile device with a touchscreen. And it is not fun. It was originally designed for a PC with a mouse click, and not for a mobile device with a touchscreen. Visual graphic search homepage, which we present here, brings up a new search interface to display the query suggestions graphically. It primarily focuses on the customer experience, especially on a mobile device with a touchscreen. By using the graphic search homepage, the user will gain a streamlined search experience with a better performance.
