User-navigable resource representations

摘要

A method and system for providing user-navigable search results returns a resource representation for a resource, such as a web site or other Internet accessible object. The resource representation may be navigable by a user in a manner mirroring navigation of the resource. The resource representation may include a plurality of indicators representing menu links selected from resource links associated with the resource. Selection of an indicator may cause content associated with the indicator, such as resource links and related snippets, to be displayed. A hierarchical arrangement of elements in the resource representation may correspond to a hierarchical arrangement of navigable content in the resource.

two or more menu indicators, wherein a first menu indicator is associated with the first menu link and the second menu indicator is associated with the second menu link;display information, wherein the display information includes at least one of the resource links; andinstructions executable by a processor to cause, in response to selection of the second menu indicator associated with the second menu link, a display of the presentation content to be updated within the search results to include at least some of the plurality of the resource links associated with the second menu link.
