  • Publication number: 20240111801
    Abstract: Displaying geographic search results incudes receiving, from a server system and in response to a query related to the geographic area, a plurality of search results; providing a digital map of the geographic area via a user interface; displaying the plurality of search results as visual indicators at respective geographic locations on the digital map; and providing a user interface element which, when selected by a user, causes removal from the digital map a portion of the plurality of search results that is not relevant to a certain geographic context.

  • Patent number: 11841895
    Abstract: A response to a first query related to a geographic area, and search results responsive to a second query related to the geographic area, are received from a server system. A digital map of the geographic is provided via a user interface. A focus is provided to the first query to illustrate the response on the digital map, where the response defines a geographic context. A subset of the search results is identified based on a relationship to the geographic context. The search results in the identified subset are visually emphasized on the digital map relative to the rest of the search results.

  • Patent number: 9009198
    Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products. Information that is responsive to each of multiple distinct search queries is received from a server system. The information for each of the search queries identifies a geographical context or includes search results. One or more visual indications of the information for each of the search queries are displayed on a geographical map. A user interface element for each of the search queries is displayed. The user interface element for each of the search queries, when selected by a user, causes removal from the display of the one or more visual indications of the information for the search query that corresponds to the selected user interface element.
