A method includes receiving login with a first identity. The first identity is associated with a first set of privileges. The reception of login with the first identity enables a first presentation of content associated with a first user account. The content is displayed on a page that has a visual indicator identifying the first user account. The method further includes receiving an interactive input in a location associated with the visual indicator. The received interaction input causes an identity selection menu to be generated on the page. When selection of a second identity other than the first identity is received, the method includes enabling a second set of privileges associated with the second identity. The reception of selection with the second identity enables a second presentation of content associated with a second user account.

Techniques for customizing search may include the following operations: outputting, to a computing device of a user, a Web page that enables selection of signals that are usable to generate search results; during a search session, receiving, through the Web page, a query and a selection corresponding to one or more of the signals, where the selection differs from a default set of search signals used by the search system for searching; obtaining, for output to the computing device, search results that are based on the query and the selection; and following the search session, configuring the search system to use the default set of search signals for searching.
