Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying an image for an entity. In one aspect, a method includes identifying a set of resources. Each resource can include at least one image and reference at least one entity. Each image is assigned to a particular entity based on an overall entity scores for the image relative to the entities. The overall entity score for an image and an entity can specify a measure of topical relatedness between the image and the entity. For each individual entity referenced by at least one of the resources, a group of images that have been assigned to the individual entity is identified. An image evocative of each individual entity is selected from the group based on image rank scores. The image rank score for an image can be determined based on visual characteristics of the image.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for processing search results. A first query suggestion for a search query input is received, and a first set of image search results responsive to the query suggestion is received. Both are provided to a user device in response to the search query input. After providing the first set of image search results to the user device, a signal of user interest is detected in either of the query suggestion or at least one of the image search results. The detection is prior to receiving another search query input subsequent to the search query input. In response to the detection, a second set of image search results is provided to the user device to supplement the first set of image search results previously provided to the user device. The second set of image search results are responsive to the query suggestion.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing image search results. In one aspect, a method includes displaying a page resource received in response to the selection of the image search result in a display environment belonging to a first domain of a server that hosts the page resource, generating an image display environment on the page resource, displaying an image resource referenced by the image search result in the image display environment, and in response to a command to close the image display environment, closing the image display environment and displaying the page resource.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing image search results. In one aspect, a method includes rendering a page resource referenced by a selected image search result and received in response to the selection of the image search result in a second display environment to generate a rendered page resource in the second display environment, the second display environment being a display environment that is separate from a first display environment in which the image search results are displayed, generating, from the rendered page resource in the second display environment, an image of the rendered page resource, displaying, in the first display environment, the image of the rendered page resource, and in response to a command navigate to the page resource, transitioning the rendered page resource to the first display environment to display the page resource.
