Abstract
Searching within a site of a search result is enabled with a user interface, a method, etc. that presents a search within a site tool indicator in association with at least one search result of multiple displayed search results. The at least one search result corresponds to a given page of a particular site. The search within a site tool indicator may be employed by a user to search the particular site.
Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The same numbers are used throughout the drawings to reference like and/or corresponding aspects, features, and components.



FIG. 1 is an example environment in which searching within a site of a search result may be implemented.



FIG. 2 is an example user interface having selectable categories and a search results area in which a site that is associated with a displayed search result may itself be searched.



FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a more general example of a search results area in which a site that is associated with a displayed search result may itself be searched.



FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a search result for a page on a site in which a user interface enables the site to be searched.



FIG. 5 is another block diagram of a search result for a page on a site in which a user interface enables the site to be searched.



FIG. 6 is yet another block diagram of a search result for a page on a site in which a user interface enables the site to be searched.



FIG. 7 is a flow diagram that illustrates an example of a method for searching a site of a page that corresponds to a displayed search result.



FIG. 8 is a block diagram of an example device that may be employed in conjunction with searching within a site of a search result.


Claims
  • 1. One or more processor-accessible media comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a device to perform actions comprising: displaying multiple search results, the multiple search results including a particular search result that corresponds to a given page from a particular site; andpresenting a search within a site tool indicator in association with the particular search result.
  • 2. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 1, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, cause the device to perform a further action comprising: receiving a user command to present the search within a site tool indicator;wherein the presenting action is performed in response to the receiving action.
  • 3. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 1, wherein the presenting action is performed as part of the displaying action.
  • 4. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 1, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, cause the device to perform further actions comprising: detecting activation of the search within a site tool indicator; andresponsive to the detecting, presenting a site search input interface.
  • 5. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 4, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, cause the device to perform further actions comprising: receiving a site search input via the site search input interface;conducting a site search with regard to the site search input and with reference to the particular site; anddisplaying multiple site search results produced from the conducting, each site search result of the multiple site search results corresponding to a page from the particular site.
  • 6. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 1, wherein the search within a site tool indicator enables a user to have a search performed on the particular site.
  • 7. One or more processor-accessible media comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a device to display a user interface, the user interface comprising: a search results area that includes multiple search results; andat least one search within a site tool indicator that is associated with at least one search result of the multiple search results.
  • 8. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 7, wherein activation of the at least one search within a site tool indicator causes a site search input interface to be presented in which a user may input one or more site search terms.
  • 9. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 8, wherein the site search input interface enables the user to initiate a site search.
  • 10. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 9, wherein the at least one search result corresponds to a given page that is part of a particular site; and wherein the site search is directed to multiple pages located on the particular site with regard to the one or more site search terms.
  • 11. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 10, wherein the particular site is represented by an internet domain.
  • 12. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 8, wherein the site search input interface comprises a pop-up window.
  • 13. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 8, wherein the site search input interface comprises an input box that replaces at least part of the at least one search within a site tool indicator.
  • 14. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 7, wherein the at least one search within a site tool indicator comprises part of the at least one search result as displayed by the user interface.
  • 15. The one or more processor-accessible media as recited in claim 7, wherein the at least one search within a site tool indicator can be commanded by a user to be presented by the user interface in association with the at least one search result.
  • 16. A method comprising: displaying multiple search results, including presenting at least one search within a site tool indicator that enables a search to be performed on a particular site;detecting activation of the at least one search within a site tool indicator; andresponsive to the detecting, presenting a site search input interface.
  • 17. The method as recited in claim 16, further comprising; receiving a site search input via the site search input interface; andconducting a site search on the particular site using the site search input.
  • 18. The method as recited in claim 17, further comprising: responsive to the conducting, displaying multiple site search results that are found on the particular site.
  • 19. The method as recited in claim 17, wherein: the detecting comprises detecting activation of the at least one search within a site tool indicator that is associated with a particular search result of the multiple search results, the particular search result corresponding to a particular page that is located on the particular site; andthe conducting comprises conducting the site search on pages of the particular site using the site search input.
  • 20. The method as recited in claim 16, wherein the presenting a site search input interface comprises: presenting the site search input interface as a pop-up window; orpresenting the site search input interface embedded with at least one search result of the multiple search results.
