  • Publication number: 20130238609
    Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for rendering query results. After a user submits a query, a plurality of query results may be received, comprising at least a first query result and a second query result. The first query result can be rendered in a first collapsed view, which may be smaller and may comprise less information than a full view of the first query result. Upon receiving a first indication of scrolling, hinting that the user may wish to view more results, the first query result can be rendered in a first expanded view, which may comprise a full view of the first query result. Further, upon receiving the first indication of scrolling, the second query result can be rendered in a second collapsed view. Rendering query results as provided herein allows a (limited) viewable area to be used in an efficient manner.
