Abstract
A search engine is configured to return search results with increased diversity among the search results. When a query is received from a client device, items are identified as search results for the query and grouped into categories. The categories are also grouped into classes. A user interface is generated with items grouped together by category and categories grouped together by class. The user interface is returned to the client device as a response to the query.
