1. A method for determining an intended user selection of a search result, the method comprising:
receiving, on a user equipment, a user input;
in response to receiving the user input, generating, for display on a user interface, a first set of search results, wherein each of the first set of search results is displayed within a respective position of a plurality of positions on the user interface, and wherein the first set of search results includes a first search result that is displayed in a first position of the plurality of positions;
generating, for display on the user interface, a second set of search results comprising a second search result;
replacing, on the user interface, the first search result in the first position with the second search result;
receiving, on the user equipment, a selection input including a selection of the second search result while the second search result is displayed in the first position;
identifying a user interface input intent to select the first search result instead of the second search result identified by the selection input by:
determining a previous user input identifying a genre that was received by the user equipment within a predetermined time before receiving the user input;
determining that the first search result belongs to the genre, and that the second search result does not belong to the genre; and

in response to the identifying the user interface input intent to select the first search result instead of the second search result identified by the selection input: modifying a data structure representing the selection to indicate that the first search result is selected.
