  • Publication number: 20100198628
    Abstract: In an online search environment, embodiments described herein provide an interface that presents or provides a summary view of a search result for products or services. The summary view summarizes products or services that match search criteria by provider. In particular, the summary view identifies (i) individual providers that offers products or services that match the search criteria, and (ii) aggregates information that is descriptive of all (or many) products or services that match the search criteria of each identified provider. The aggregated information may be presented in visual association with the provider (e.g. tabular form), and may list price ranges and/or counts of the number of products/services of the provider that match the criteria. Other features may be incorporated into the summary view, such as a visual marker that enables the user to view supplemental information without navigating away from the view.
