Disclosed implementations display information about entities in a structured way. In one aspect, a server may receive a request for information associated with an entity and identify information types associated with the entity. A server may generate a response that includes a plurality of regions for the entity, the regions being structured according to the identified information types, and may populate the regions with information of the entity for the identified information types and format the regions by determining a first color associated with the entity and configuring a portion of a first region of the plurality of regions with the first color, and determining a second color associated with the entity and configuring a portion of a second region of the plurality of regions with the second color. A server may transmit the populated and formatted plurality of regions to a client device for display by the client device.

Structured entity information page

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing knowledge panels with search results. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining search results that are responsive to a received query. A factual entity referenced by the query is identified. Content is identified for display in a knowledge panel for the factual entity. The content includes at least one content item obtained from a first resource and at least one second content item obtained from a second resource different than the first resource. Data is provided that causes the identified search results and the knowledge panel to be presented on a search results page. The knowledge panel presents the identified content in a knowledge panel area that is along side at least a portion of the search results.

Providing knowledge panels with search results

Disclosed implementations display information about entities in a structured way. In one aspect, a method is performed at a server system comprising memory and processors. The server receives a request from a client device for an information page associated with an entity belonging to a viewable media category. The server identifies predefined information types associated with the viewable media category and populates a first region of a search result page with information about the entity corresponding to the predefined information types. Responsive to determining that the first entity is available for streaming or downloading, the server populates a second region of the search result page with a location-based information type that is distinct from the set of predefined information types and populated using information about a location from which the first entity can be streamed or downloaded. The server transmits the search result page to the client device.

The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for displaying information about entities in a structured way. In one aspect, a method is performed at a server system comprising memory and processors. The server receives a request from a client device for an information page associated with an entity. The server identifies automatically information and information types associated with the entity. The server generates and formats automatically a structured information page having regions for the entity, including a dynamically determined location-based information type associated with the entity. The server populates the regions of the structured information page with information of the entity for the identified information types, and with location information associated with the client device transmits the generated and formatted page to the client device for display.

Personalized entity information page

The various implementations described herein include methods and systems for displaying information about entities in a structured way. In one aspect, a method is performed at a server system comprising memory and processors. The server receives a request from a client device for an information page associated with an entity. The server identifies automatically information and information types associated with the entity. The server generates and formats automatically a structured information page having regions for the entity, including determining a primary color associated with the entity, and configuring respective regions of the structured information page with corresponding accent colors based on the primary color. The server populates the regions of the structured information page with information of the entity for the identified information types, and transmits the generated and formatted page to the client device for display.

A method performed at a server system includes: receiving a request from a client device for an information page associated with an entity of an entity class; identifying historical user activity logged by the server system associated with users with respect to one or more of the entity and the entity class; identifying information and multiple information types associated with the entity; generating and formatting a structured information page structured according to the identified information types, where the identified information types include predefined information types and dynamically selected information types, and the dynamically selected information types are selected from a set of candidate information types in accordance with relative importance of the candidate information types as determined by the server system based on the historical user activity; populating the structured information page with the identified information; and transmitting the structured information page to the client device for display.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for presenting secondary music search result links. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a search query. A plurality of search results that satisfy the search query are obtained. A presentation of the plurality of search results is generated, wherein a particular search result includes one or more secondary music search result links to respective music resources identified by markup language music data in a set of identified music web pages. The presentation of search results is provided in response to the search query.

Presenting secondary music search result links

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating search results with structured image sizes. According to one exemplary implementation, a process includes the operations of determining an initial height and an initial width of an image that is associated with a search result, wherein the image is to be displayed in the search result in line with text associated with the search result, and wherein the search result includes an in-line image region for displaying the image in line with the text, and a text region for displaying the text, and determining an initial height of the text region of the search result based at least on (i) the text associated with the search result, and (ii) an initial width of the text region. The process also includes outputting the scaled image for display in the search result in line with the text.
