Disclosed are various embodiments for editable search. A computing device generates a network page that includes a title that is interactive or modifiable. In response to a user-selected attribute being selected from the title, an item catalog is searched to identify available items with different attribute values for the user-selected attribute. A menu with one or more different attribute value is rendered in relation to the user-selected attribute from the title. A different attribute value is selected from the menu and the network page is updated to include the different attribute value in place of the user-selected attribute in the title.

User interface element for surfacing related results

Approaches are described for an interface element that displays progressively more information about a search result in a listing of search results. In an embodiment, a user interacts with a search result, for example by utilizing a gesture on a touch-sensitive display, and a supplemental content item is generated and displayed using, in one example, a subset of available supplemental information associated with the search result. The display of the supplemental content item is accompanied by an animation is some embodiments whereby the supplemental content item visually 'slides' over to replace the search result.

Progressive information panels in a graphical user interface

Disclosed are various embodiments for editable search. A computing device displays a term on a network page. The computing device then displays a search result on the network page, wherein the search result is related to the term. Later, the computing device displays an alternative term in response to a selection of the term. The computing device then sends a search query to a remote application executing on a remote computing device in response to a selection of the alternative term, wherein the search query includes the alternative term. The computing device subsequently updates the search result on the network page with a new search result related to the alternative term.

Disclosed are various embodiments for customizing an item search and browsing experience based on a delivery speed preference. Multiple delivery speed options are generated for a client device, and a listing of the delivery speed options are sent to the client device. A user selection of a particular delivery speed option is then received from the client device. An item search criterion is received from the client device. A listing of items selected from an electronic item database is generated based at least in part on the item search criterion and item availability via the particular delivery speed option. Data encoding the listing of items is sent to the client device for rendering on a display.

Customizing item search and navigation based on user preferences

Techniques for providing a supplementary information component to search results are provided. A search engine computer provides search results in response to the search query. The computer then identifies some interest in an item from the search results, then may generate and provide the supplementary information component.

Search result enhancement component for interest queues

Techniques for generating representative images are disclosed herein. In particular, various embodiments utilize an image generation service to generate representative images for categories and sub-categories of objects. Each representative image can be a stylized depiction of an aggregated image corresponding to a particular category of objects. A user can refine the search, or continue to browse, by selecting one of the representative images. This enables users to quickly identify features the user is looking for or would like to exclude, by depicting the sort of objects associated with that category.

Techniques for generating representative images

Disclosed are various embodiments for a navigation element. An insertion point is identified in a ranking of search results. A navigation element is included in the search results. A selection of the navigation element modifies a constraint used to generate the search result.

Search navigation element

Techniques for providing a supplementary information component to search results are provided. In some embodiments, a search engine computer provides search results in response to the search query. The computer then identifies some interest in an item from the search results, then may generate and provide the component.
