  • Publication number: 20180357301
    Abstract: A search system generates one or more groups of search results of the plurality of search results based at least in part on a calculated similarity between search results of the plurality of search results. The search system communicates instructions to a user computing device causing the user computing device to render a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface comprising one or more group results of the generated one or more groups of search results, wherein each of the one or more group results comprises a timeline comprising respective indicators for each result in the group result along the timeline. The search system receives, from the user computing device, an input via the graphical user interface selecting a particular indicator corresponding to a particular search result along a particular timeline, wherein the graphical user interface is configured to display details of the particular search result.

  • Publication number: 20160140637
    Abstract: A websearch system for providing content to users may include a content provider, a user account interface, and a web-based search engine module. The content provider interface may facilitate interactions with content providers for preparing for-pay content for availability via web-based searching.

  • Patent number: 9253135
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods for providing a single notification for display in an application from multiple received notifications are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a first notification for an application and receiving a second notification for the application subsequent to the first notification, and analyzing content of the first notification and content of the second notification. The method also includes determining, based on the analysis, whether the second notification is related to the first notification, and providing, for display, a single notification includes at least a portion of the content of the first notification and at least a portion of the content of the second notification when the second notification is related to the first notification. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
