Abstract
A computing device is configured to provide a search results document that includes information regarding images that have been identified as relevant to a search query, and receive a request to access an image provided in the search results document. The image may be associated with a document that includes the image. The computing device is configured to determine, based on the request, whether the document is image-centric with respect to the image, and selectively provide, based on whether the document is image-centric with respect to the image, an image overlay document corresponding to the image or the document associated with the image. The image overlay document may be provided when the document is not image-centric with respect to the image, and the document may be provided when the document is image-centric with respect to the image.
