A "while away" canvas is described herein. A client computing device detects that a page that comprises search results is displayed on a display of the client computing device, wherein the search results were identified based upon a query received from the client computing device. The client computing device subsequently detects that focus of the user has left the page. Upon detecting that focus of the user has returned to the page, the client computing device updates the page to include the "while away" canvas, which identifies additional search results (based upon the query) that were published after the page that comprises the search results was initially displayed.
