Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for presenting search results. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a query and determining whether it is desirable to group search results responsive to the query. If so, the method further includes grouping search results by, for example, domain and displaying an indicator (e.g., a favicon) in proximity to a URL associated with search results that are related to the domain. In another aspect, a method includes crawling web properties to determine if a domain has an associated indicator, and storing an identifier associated with the indicator in a database that associates the identifier with one or more words indicative of the domain. Upon receipt of a query that includes the one or more words, the method further includes retrieving the indicator and displaying the indicator in proximity to a link describing the domain.
