Abstract: A method of generating additional information to be provided in a browser application of a client device comprising: receiving a request for displaying a first resource in the browser application, the request causing the client device to display the first resource in the browsing application, receiving an indication of a user interaction with the browsing application, responsive to the indication and prior to the user navigating away from the first resource: parsing the request to obtain at least one keyword, searching and retrieving, based on the at least one keyword, at least one entry of structured information based on the at least one keyword and being potentially relevant to the first resource, generating snippet information based on the at least one retrieved entry of structured information, transmitting and causing the client device the a to display a start page including the snippet information.

Abstract: There is provided a computer-implemented method of generating a content recommendation interface for a user of an electronic device, the method executable by the electronic device. The content recommendation interface presents a first GUI comprising three simultaneously presented visual-interface elements disposed within the first GUI: a first interface element comprising an omnibox, a second interface element comprising at least one icon representing user-selected content, and a third interface element comprising at least one recommendation icon, the first recommendation icon associated with recommended content selected, by the recommendation server, from a plurality of potentially recommendable content items.
