Abstract
The specification relates to the creation of an image space by receiving an initial image query. A plurality of search queries related to the initial search query are determined. Image results for the initial search query and the plurality of related search queries are obtained. A panel of images representing a number of images from the initial search query and panels of images representing a number of images from the plurality of related search queries are generated. These panels are used to provide an image space. The image space can be centered on the panel representing the resultant images related to the initial search query and can be surrounded by panels representing the resultant images related to the plurality of related search queries.
