  • Patent number: 11132627
    Abstract: A travel search machine generates a trip object defined by a corresponding trip identifier. The trip object may have a corresponding trip data structure to which one or more search results may be assigned by a user. For example, the travel search machine may be configured to receive a trip identifier as a submission from a user device, generate a trip data structure corresponding to the trip identifier, and responsive to a received command from a user device, assign one or more search results to the trip data structure, such that reference to the trip data structure via the received trip identifier causes a presentation of at least some of the one or more search results assigned to the trip data structure.

  • Patent number: 11062382
    Abstract: Example embodiments described herein disclose a travel search machine configured to retrieve and present search results as graphical elements within a graphical user interface. The travel search machine presents graphical elements with a slider configured to define a subset of the search results, where the subset is defined by a location of the slider among the graphical elements within the graphical user interface, and is further configured to receive a user input that moves the slider from a first location in the graphical user interface to a second location in the graphical user interface and in response to the first user input, cause the user device to display a notification window in the graphical user interface at a position relative to the slider in the first location, the notification window indicating a count of search results within the subset of search results defined by the location of the slider.

The trip object may have a corresponding trip data structure to which one or more search results may be assigned by a user. For example, the travel search machine may be configured to receive a trip identifier as a submission from a user device, generate a trip data structure corresponding to the trip identifier, and responsive to a received command from a user device, assign one or more search results to the trip data structure, such that reference to the trip data structure via the received trip identifier causes a presentation of at least some of the one or more search results assigned to the trip data structure.

  • Publication number: 20150242495
    Abstract: A search machine may store a page state of a results page that includes search results, as well as one or more selections, filter parameters, sort parameters, or comments applied by the user to one or more active search results. Prior to storing the page state, the search machine may determine that only active search results are to be stored, and determine which search results are the active search results. The user may access the search machine from a second device, and the search machine may cause the second device to present some or all of the same search results with one or more selections, filter parameters, sort parameters, or comments applied. Thus, when the same search results are presented by the second device, the same contents, same selections, and same layout may be preserved and match what the user previously viewed using the first device.
