Patent number: 9811598Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure include a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for providing an endless search result page. In example embodiments, search results from a current level of a search are presented on the search result page displayed on a client device. A scroll indication applied to the presentation of the search results from the current level is detected. Based on a direction of the scroll indication, the search results from the current level are scrolled on the search result page. A determination that an end of the presentation of the search results from the current level is reached in response to the scrolling is made. In response, search results from a previous level are appended to the end of the presentation of the search results of the current level to cause continuous presentation of the search result page.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2014Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: eBay Inc.Inventors: Michael George Lenahan, Ben Mitchell, R J Pittman, Dave Lippman
