Aspects of connected phrase search queries and titles are described. In one embodiment, a phrase in a search string may be identified with reference to a compilation data store. The compilation data store may include various collaborative, taxonomy, and brand name data, for example. After a phrase is identified in the search string, a search query may be generated based on the phrase. For example, a catalog of items may be queried to generate a query result, and the query result may be parsed for display to a user. In various embodiments, a plurality of phrases may be identified in a search string, and a plurality of search queries may be generated based on combinations of the phrases. In this manner, more search results may be obtained, especially for constrained search strings. The identification of phrases may also be applied to generate variations on titles, in certain embodiments.

Connected phrase search queries and titles

Disclosed are various embodiments for controlling a user interface based at least in part on particular conditions. In response to an element in a user interface being triggered, a first region is identified based at least in part on the location of an input device pointer and the triggered element. An enlarged region is identified based at least in part on the first region. It is determined whether to modify the user interface based at least in part on whether the pointer is moved within the enlarged region.
