• and
• providing, by the user device, as a first overlay on the user interface, the first search results page comprising (i) the first portion of the search result page that includes at least a portion of the obtained information related to the first entity and (ii) the second portion of the first search results page that includes one or more related search items of the scrollable set of related search items for display in the user interface of the user device;
• receiving, by the user device, a selection of one of the related search items in the second portion of the first search results page;
• obtaining, by the user device, information related to a second entity corresponding to the selected related search item;
• generating, by the user device, a second search results page that includes the obtained information related to the second entity, for display in the user interface of the user device;
• and
• moving, by the user device, the first overlay on the user interface and providing the second search results page as a second overlay on the user interface.
