Browsing related image search result sets

摘要

Methods are provided for displaying image results responsive to a search query. In addition to displaying responsive results for a query, responsive results are also provided for related queries. The results are ordered along a plurality of display axes, including at least one axis corresponding to the ordering of the various search queries.

1. A computing device, comprising:
at least one processor; at least one display device; and at least one memory storing computer-readable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the computing device to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a first search query;displaying the first search query and a first set of results ordered along a first axis within a viewable area of the display device;automatically determining a second search query related to the first search query;displaying the second search query and a second set of results ordered along the first axis within the viewable area;providing at least three options for translating the viewable area, comprising:
a first option for translating the viewable area along the first axis;a second option for translating the viewable area along a second axis that is substantially orthogonal to the first axis; anda third option for translating the viewable area along a third axis that is substantially orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis;receiving a selection of a result; andin response to receiving an indication of the third option and the selected result, translating the viewable area along the third axis, wherein translating the viewable area along the third axis comprises linear translation along the third axis to display a third set of results, wherein the third set of results are displayed in a ranked order of relevance based on the selected result, and wherein each successive result of the third set of results is displayed with decreasing size along the third axis based on decreasing relevance to the selected result.
