  • Publication number: 20210326015
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for presenting data are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes presenting, by a user device, an answer box as a search result in a search result location of a search results page. The answer box can include first content of a first content type responsive to a query that submitted with a first resource request over a network. The user device determines that a user interaction with the answer box has occurred. In response to determining that the user interaction has occurred, the user device can present second content of the first content type in the answer box. The second content is selected from available content that has not been presented prior to the user interaction. The answer box include a visual element reflective of the content data currently presented.

  • Patent number: 8601019
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for presenting autocomplete suggestions. A computing device can receive a query and autocomplete suggestions for the query. The autocomplete suggestions can be displayed in a plurality of separately selectable cells arranged in a column on a user interface. While a selected cell is displayed at a first location, input indicating that a user interacted with the selected cell can be received. In response to receiving the input, the computing device can display the selected cell at a second location that is different from the first location, include the autocomplete suggestion displayed in the selected cell in the query, and display autocomplete suggestions for the extended query in a plurality of separately selectable second cells.
