Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A search engine query can be received, along with contextual data encoding information about a context of the query. The query can be classified into a selected user interface profile of multiple available user interface profiles, with the classifying including applying a classification model to the contextual data. A visual structure generator can be selected using results of the classifying, and a search results page can be generated for the query. The generating of the search results page can include using the selected visual structure generator to impose a selected visual structure on the search results page, with the selected visual structure corresponding to the selected visual structure generator. The generated search results page can be returned in response to the receiving of the query.

Abstract: A content publisher incorporates a script into a web page. The script consumes an event raised in response a user submitting a query. The script captures the query and related information and sends the captured query and information to a search provider, either directly or through the content publisher. The search provider uses the query and information to identify both the content publisher and branding information associated with the content publisher. An iframe is assembled by the search provider that contains current results from the content publisher as well as web results. The iframe is branded with the content publisher branding information and returned to the user, either directly or through the content publisher. The resultant search experience appears as if it were provided by the content publisher.

Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to increase readability and/or engagement of search results on a mobile device while minimizing the bandwidth consumed by transferring search results from the search system to the mobile device. A search results page comprises a plurality of containers adapted to hold content of a content type such as text, rich media, hidden content, and so forth. When the search results page is downloaded to the mobile device, only content that is visible through a viewport on the screen on the mobile device is downloaded. The content that is visible can be adjusted to enhance readability and/or engagement based on the type of content displayed such as by adjusting size, spacing, color/highlights, animations, and so forth. Content that is not visible in the viewport is not downloaded until it becomes visible in the viewport or is predicted to become visible in the viewport.

Abstract: System and methods are disclosed to provide optimized search result content placement based on gestures with intent. The system and methods addresses an issue of a search application accurately interpreting a query to provide search results that satisfy expectations, while minimizing unnecessary iterations of queries. The system and methods enable optimized updates of content and search results by translating user-interactive gestures on search results into intent of the search. Actions required to update the content and search results may be determined based on the intent. The translation from gesture into intent, and the determination of action based on the intent may be provided by mapping among gesture, intent, and action. The mapping data may be trained by success metrics data, which may generated by analyzing usage logs of the search application.
