Claim Text:
1. A method for populating a search result display interface, the method performed by a computing device having at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the computing device to perform the method, the method comprising: generating, by the at least one processor, a first set of search results based upon a query; populating a first position along a first axis of a search result display interface with one or more search results from the first set of search results, the one or more search results populated at the first position comprising a first search result and a second search result, wherein the first search result and the second search result are aligned in at least a partially non-linear fashion along a second axis; receiving a selection of the first search result from the first set of search results; generating, by the at least one processor, a second set of search results based at least in part on the selected first search result; populating a second position along the first axis of the search result display interface with one or more search results from the second set of search results, the one or more search results populated at the second position comprising a third search result and a fourth search result, wherein the third search result is ranked by relevancy to the query that generated the first set of search results and is populated along the second axis substantially between the first position and the second position; receiving a selection of the third search result from the second set of search results; and generating, by the at least one processor, a third set of search results based at least in part on the selected third search result, wherein the third set of search results are different from the second set of search results.
