Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for presenting selectable page navigation options representing topics or search queries determined to be relevant to an item that a user is viewing on an initial page. When a user selects to begin entering a search query in a search filed on the initial page, a system may determine two or more page destinations to recommend to the user based on the first item presented on the initial page, where the page destinations may each represent a different topic or search query. These recommended destinations may then be presented over at least a portion of the initial page near the search field as selectable options for navigating to a corresponding recommended page destination. The selectable options may include, for each recommended page destination, an image representing the page destination and text identifying the page destination.
