  • Patent number: 11714537
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for providing search features within a carousel. A request may be received to display a network page (e.g., a user profile page). The carousel may present a subset of items of a set of items (e.g., items associated with the user profile). User input indicating a scrolling action within the carousel can be received. In response, a user interface (UI) element associated with conducting a search may be presented in an expanded form overlaid atop the carousel. After a predefined period of time has elapsed, the UI element may transition to a collapsed form. If the UI element is selected, the user may be navigated to the end of the carousel where a statically-positioned presentation of the UI element is presented. A search may be conducted from the statically-positioned presentation. The search may be performed against the set of items associated with the user profile.
