Aspects of the disclosed technology include a method including receiving, from a user device, an identification of content; receiving, by a computing device, the identified content; accessing search engine processing logic; processing the received content using the subset of search engine processing logic, without indexing the received content to be accessed for responding to search queries from the search engine; generating a representation of a predicted search result of the received content based on the processing; and transmitting, to the user device, the representation of the predicted search result.

Method and system for preview of search engine processing

In one aspect, a map is provided for display by one or more computing devices. The map includes a first set of geographic locations. The one or more computing devices receive a zoom request for viewing the map. The one or more computing devices then determine whether a zoom level cutoff has been traversed. If so the one or more computing devices may select a second set of geographic locations, from a hierarchy of geographic locations, to be displayed to the user.

Presenting hierarchies of map data at different zoom levels

Methods, systems and computer-readable storage mediums encoded with computer programs executed by one or more processors for providing personalized mapping with photo-tours are disclosed. A mapping system provides a map of a geographic region that includes a plurality of selectable image locations within the region, with standardized images of the respective image location that accord with predefined parameters provided by the mapping system. An image location selection from the map is received and it is determined whether the selected image location is associated with one or more photo-tours of non-standardized images that do not according with the predefined parameters. A selection of a particular one of the photo-tours is received, and the set of non-standardized images corresponding to a selected photo-tour for the image location is provided.
