Abstract
Approaches are described for an interface element that displays progressively more information about a search result in a listing of search results. In an embodiment, a user interacts with a search result, for example by utilizing a gesture on a touch-sensitive display, and a supplemental content item is generated and displayed using, in one example, a subset of available supplemental information associated with the search result. The display of the supplemental content item is accompanied by an animation is some embodiments whereby the supplemental content item visually “slides” over to replace the search result.
Claims17
A computing device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a touch-sensitive display;
- and
- memory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the computing device to:
- receive a set of search results including a first result and a second result, wherein the first result is associated with a first region of the display and the second result is associated with a second region of the display;
- present, on the display, at least the first result and the second result;
- detect a first interaction with the first region;
- determine, based at least in part on a unique identifier associated with the first result, that the first result is associated with first supplemental content;
- generate a first supplemental content element including the first supplemental content;
- present, on the display, a first animation comprising the first result appearing to slide in a first direction substantially simultaneously with the first supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction and visually replacing the first result, wherein the second region is unchanged;
- detect a second interaction with the first region;
- determine, based at least in part on the unique identifier associated with the first result, that the first result is associated with additional supplemental content;
- generate, in response to the second interaction, a second supplemental content element including the additional supplemental content;
- and
- present, on the display, a second animation comprising the first supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction substantially simultaneously with the second supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction and visually replacing the first supplemental content element, wherein the second region is unchanged.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, at an electronic device having a touch-sensitive display, a set of search results including a first result and a second result, wherein the first result is associated with a first region of the display and the second result is associated with a second region of the display;
- presenting, on the display, at least the first result and the second result;
- detecting a first interaction with the first region;
- determining, based at least in part on a unique identifier associated with the first result, that the first result is associated with first supplemental content;
- generating a first supplemental content element including the first supplemental content;
- presenting, on the display, a first animation comprising the first result appearing to slide in a first direction substantially simultaneously with the first supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction and visually replacing the first result, wherein the second region is unchanged;
- detecting a second interaction with the first region;
- determining, based at least in part on the unique identifier associated with the first result, that the first result is associated with additional supplemental content;
- generating, in response to the second interaction, a second supplemental content element including the additional supplemental content;
- and
- presenting, on the display, a second animation comprising the first supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction substantially simultaneously with the second supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction and visually replacing the first supplemental content element, wherein the second region is unchanged.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive, at an electronic device having a touch-sensitive display, a set of search results including a first result and a second result, wherein the first result is associated with a first region of the display and the second result is associated with a second region of the display;
- present, on the display, at least the first result and the second result;
- detect a first interaction with the first region;
- determine, based at least in part on a unique identifier associated with the first result, that the first result is associated with first supplemental content;
- generate a first supplemental content element including the first supplemental content;
- present, on the display, a first animation comprising the first result appearing to slide in a first direction substantially simultaneously with the first supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction and visually replacing the first result, wherein the second region is unchanged;
- detect a second interaction with the first region;
- determine, based at least on the unique identifier associated with the first result, that the first result is associated with additional supplemental content;
- generate, in response to the second interaction, a second supplemental content element including the additional supplemental content;
- and
- present, on the display, a second animation comprising the first supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction substantially simultaneously with the second supplemental content element appearing to slide in the first direction and visually replacing the first supplemental content element, wherein the second region is unchanged.
